I cant wait to actually see someone wear the jointed pieces (that isn't that weird asian model hahahaha). I can visualize how these pieces work now... meant to be worn tight with the joints providing the motion. Very cool concept. I wonder how Junya's versions were from a ways back?

Here you go......in order to provide Mr Watanabe the respect he deserves, one must look at this using (the oft adopted) "beefcake yoox model filtering vision". Anyway it gives you an idea. I think Junya's thinking was (typically) more abstract - I think I read about him saying that he wanted to make very small clothes that still could be worn - so he used the jointing etc to allow movement. It's anatomical in a way but not as it's main aim. WIth Carol I think he wants to use jointing as a way to try to improve anatomical fitting, not in order to solve a problem creating by an abstract idea.

Damn Yoox, I think I liked those before but now I can't tell. I'm in total agreement, people often forget that Poell and the arte poverta crowd are much more visceral, even primal (a la Brancusi) than conceptual creators in the vein of Watanabe and the japanese crowd. That often means some meanings that are simply not there get attached to Poell's work.
