Out of the myriad innovations, trends, and new styles that are birthed from Paris Fashion Week, there’s always one brand that finds a way to stand out and make a new lane, statement, and aesthetics for itself, and that’s Junya Watanabe.
With this collection called ‘Dress Up Denim,’ Junya’s vision was crystal clear with the concept and looks for this collection which boasts a rebellious nature through the seams, patchworks, and designs. This collection also showcases innovation in both streetwear and luxury looks, with its punk patchwork denim jeans to its classy-punk aesthetics in the suits and blazers.
Junya Watanabe has elevated his design aesthetic to a new level of innovation with this new look, showing the extent to which he takes patchwork and denim. This collection also shows Junya’s unique spin on punk culture and silhouette, displaying unique cuts and designs of patchwork on tuxedos, and denim-on-denim experimental pieces. “I have used denim and patchwork a lot in my past collections, but this time I tried to go further in my exploration to find new discoveries,” explained Watanabe.
Although Junya has done this type of style before, what stands out is this collection’s embellishments on a classy luxurious look, complimenting the rugged and punk look. And Junya channeled this look to an enhanced level with the models, having unique hairstyles, looks, and accessories matching their looks.

It doesn’t just stop at the luxury side, Junya also shows his streetwear aesthetic with punk-metal graphic tees paired with the signature patchwork denim jeans, providing a simplistic yet unique style. Junya’s collection was like a child’s drawing on a canvas, letting out their most ambitious thoughts.
