One
of fashion's great innovators, Junya Watanabe was born in Japan in
1961. In 1993, 'Junya Watanabe Comme des Garçons' was introduced
in Paris, with the support of his mentor Rei Kawakubo, founder of
Comme des Garçons. Watanabe's technical brilliance can be seen
in the Techno Couture Collection on display. Each garment is made
of hundreds of layers of polyester chintz stitched to form a complex
fabric structure. Such imagination married to 'Science Non-Fiction',
as he calls it, is typical of Watanabe's work.
