            " les japonais jouent 'les miserables'
            ...ce miserabilisme n'est pas pour vous. ni ces rapiecages, ni ces hardes toutes neuves, ni ces etoffes nouees a la hate comme des guenilles. ni ce tout noir pour jours d'obseques. ni ce maquillage livide de femmes decomposees. un snobisme de la guenille qui laisse mal presager de l'avenir. "


            from le figaro / march 18, 1983, for CdG F/W 83

                  Junya Watanabe ss99. I didn't find the same item exactly, but here are a few gorgeous looks !













                  And finally, does someone know which collection does the item in this picture comes from ? The cut is so beautiful... Like paper cutting with scissors, so delicate, it's amazing

                    BUT watch out for Junya Watanabe Man Pink, which is women's clothing based on popular designs and using techniques of men's tailoring.

                    Oh, so many concepts. It's must be either incredible fun or a nightmare working for Rei. (Ask Tao.)

                      i think this is a good idea! i have been saving some various pics from ebay and yahoo.jp but would feel awkward posting them in the archives because they're not mine, and i don't have all the info as you say.

                      lumina, that junya collection is just incredible, thanks for sharing

                              pretty shit interview with rei, but i liked her line about her job being "more often than not, hell". i've got something in common with her after all

                                I don't think it's possible to do a good interview with Rei because of the language barrier and her reluctance to discuss her work in detail. If The New Yorker couldn't do it, no one can.
