Junya Watanabe Spring/Summer 2014

Revolting against oneself and a new-found appreciation of the 'ugly' were the core motifs of the Paris Spring/Summer 2014 collections - at least the stronger ones, namely those of Comme des Garcçons, Yohji Yamamoto and Junya Watanabe. Those who know will wear spiked boots next season.

Comme des Garçons Homme Plus Spring/Summer 2013

Manga men, spiked headbands and evil perfection. The male equivalent to Anime beauty. The appropriate proposal for a pre-apocalyptic world. Japanese reality as tomorrow's fate: To die or to dye?

3. Jaiden rVa James Spring/Summer 2010

It ain't over until you give it a try. And it is allowed when Thom does it. In good company with Gosha, James, Jun and Junya. For a fashion sin only exists when you truly commit it.
