Junya Watanabe Deconstructed New-look Black Peplum Jacket 2002

Detail: Junya Watanabe collection 2002. Deconstructed black tailored jacket with sculpted peplum. The construction is seriously complex. Watanabe has taken the classic vintage Dior new-look silhouette and completely reinterpreted it. The jacket consists of two fabric layers; the outer layer has been intricately torn away, cut out, tucked and twisted in various places to create an extraordinary sculptural piece. Unfinished hem, raw edging and fraying enhance the deconstructed interpretation. The peplum is held firmly in place with four layered internal rigid seams. Two button fastening. This is definitely one of tomorrow's key collectable pieces, by Junya Watanabe for Comme des Garcons.

Junya Watanabe began his career as a pattern-maker and designer working alongside his mentor Rei Kawakubo at Comme des Garcons. He quickly established himself as a talent who pushed the boundaries in conceptual art-fashion; using new techniques in pattern manipulation and innovative use of synthetic materials. Launching his own label in 1992, Junya Watanabe caused a sensation in 1993 when presenting his first collection in Paris. Today, his early works are highly collectable. Junya Watanabe Deconstructed New-look Black Peplum Jacket 2002.
