Collection: Junya Watanabe Women

{"type":"root","children":[{"type":"paragraph","children":[{"type":"text","value":"Trained under Rei Kawakubo within the Comme des Garçons ateliers before launching his own line under the aegis of the parent house, Junya Watanabe holds a singular and irreplaceable position in the landscape of contemporary Japanese fashion: that of a technical genius who has transformed absolute technical mastery into a personal, immediately identifiable creative language.\nWhere Kawakubo operates from philosophical and emotional concepts, Watanabe starts from the object itself – the garment in its most concrete and everyday reality – to dissect it, understand its every construction detail, and reassemble it according to a new logic that reveals what no one had ever seen within it.\n\nThe Burberry trench coat, the leather perfecto jacket, the Levi's 501 jeans are all starting points that Junya Watanabe approaches with the same rigorous method and radical freedom: complete deconstruction, analysis of each component, reconstruction into proportions, volumes, and associations that conventional garment logic would never have produced. The intricate patchworks that blend fragments of these revisited classics attest to a technical mastery far exceeding what most haute couture houses are capable of, while technical materials borrowed from the workwear and outdoor universes introduce a functionality and resistance into the fashion vocabulary that deliciously contrast with the rigor of English tailoring and the attitude of punk. The resulting hybrid silhouettes appeal to women who consider clothing as much an intellectual structure as an aesthetic one, those for whom dressing is an act of thought as much as an act of seduction.\n\nAt Actuel B, we offer a selection from the Junya Watanabe women's collection, available in our boutiques in Avignon and Arles, as well as on our website. Pieces from the main collection and collaborations are presented by teams trained in the technical and conceptual universe of the house, with the personalized advice that characterizes our approach to multi-brand luxury."}]}]}
