WHO IS THE GARDNER?

This is a gardner look with a Japanese sauce, Junya Watanabe used barn coats and parka's and edited them with details and bright colors. My favorite look is the orange parka. (check the full coverage here).

THE STORY A PANT CAN TELL

Will this be a new way of showing which brand you are wearing? Kiton did it, Robert Geller did it, Junya Watanbe did it, so who will be next?

YOU HAVE TO EARN YOUR STRIPES

 

Junya Watanabe, the Japanese designer,  showed his Spring Summer collection last week in Paris. The inspiration for his collection comes from a regatta day at the Williamsburg Yacht Club. These are classic French sailing clothes (boat shirts, white pants, blazers) given a be-boppy kick in the pant. A jolt of American mid-century hipster attitude that results in white bucks paired with cropped blazers, and more. (text + pics by GQ)

EARN SOME BUCKS

White bucks, a type of laced shoe with a red sole, appeared around 1870. The first bucks were made from Brazillian or Chinese deer (buckskin) and were worn as tennis shoes. Later they became popular among the upper-class New Englanders, especially at Ivy League colleges. It has been said that you only may wear your bucks after Memorial Day, but why wait another week?

CROPPED BLAZER

Mr. Thom Browne invented the cropped suit, Junya Watanabe invented the cropped blazer and Gant Rugger perfected it for this Sping.

OUTDOOR CHIC

Outdoor chic that's what I call this fall collection of Japanese desiger Junya Watanabe, perfect for a stroll in Central Park on a rainy day.
