Junya Watanabe was born in 1961 in Fukushima. He attended Bunka Fashion college, graduating in 1984. He is renowned for creating innovative and distinctive clothing. His designs reflect the princible of his mentor Kawabuko.
His style changes dramatically every season, by taking a stab at futuristic designs like wrapping neon punks or abstract oriental peasant wear on poetic stark white. He gives his clothes an unnusual look by adding random tucking, pleating or ruching.
In 1995 his collection was all boiled wool and black leather with tattoos on the models. He is very interested in synthetic and technological advanced textiles and fabrics like found in his 2001 spring/summer line.
