Junya Watanabe MAN

Fukushima-born, Tokyo-trained, and globally revered, Junya Watanabe’s menswear line brings high fashion down to earth—all while keeping a bold, radical edge. Beginning his career at Comme des Garçons, Watanabe impressed with his ability and quickly became something of a protégé under the legendary Rei Kawakubo. Now designing under his own name, Junya Watanabe MAN is respected for toeing the line between the functional and the extraordinary: re-shaping how we view menswear as a whole. 

Brand collaborations may be all the rage now, but Watanabe was a true pioneer from the start—curating partnerships that go beyond trends and bringing together shared visions in ways that feel truly ground-breaking. Exciting ventures like the infamous New Balance 1906 trainer-loafer hybrid join legacy link-ups with Levi’s, Carhartt and The North Face. Innovation is the name of the game, with every piece bringing a new perspective to menswear staples.

From “techno couture” to punk-inspired looks, Watanabe’s designs fluctuate between the functional and the extraordinary. Tradition meets the unexpected through daringly-cut jackets, patchwork detailed shirts, and reimagined denim jeans. Expect asymmetry, unusual materials, and boundary-pushing silhouettes— it’s menswear made exciting.
