Junya Watanabe Plays With Fashion Origami for FW25
The fashion glitterati rose bright and early to watch a master at work.
Japanese designer Junya Watanabe is fascinated by punk rock identities and isn’t afraid to show it. Watanabe returned to Paris Fashion Week bright and early to present his Fall/Winter 2025 collection under the warm Parisian sunshine. Known for breaking the mold, the designer constantly amazes with wildly creative designs, powerfully coursing through unconventionality.
Junya Watanabe continued his investigation into uncommon figures and played with fashion origami for FW25. The first few looks were modeled in black, manipulating glossy leather into eye-catching structures. Essential motorcycle jackets were contoured with triangular, hexagonal, and square implants, reimagining natural human outlines with geometry at the forefront.
Next, Watanabe redefined the traditional trench coat, distorting thin-cut fabrics into three-dimensional sculptures. Models were swallowed by spherical fur and ballooning puffer jackets shaped into abstract silhouettes grounded in atypical designs. Watanabe wrapped his FW25 collection with paneled tuxedos, allowing us to watch a master at work.
