【Key words】:Junya Watanabe Fashion Design Analysis
Junya Watanabe is one of the most famous the third generation costume designers in Japan. Although his personal learning and work experience is simple, he was recognized as Japan's \"third generation costume designer\". His costume design works full of tension, both inherited the mentor Rei Kawakubo's modeling style, but also in the third house life and other predecessors who learn from experience. Strong absorption capacity makes his design both in the fabric transformation on a very personal color, but also unique in the structure and shape.
This article will be analyzed from the aspects of design work:
First, a focus on heritage and good at Baotuan development of the unique Japanese fashion designer groups.
Like other Japanese art, design and culture, Japanese fashion design in the international fashion industry also has a force to be underestimated. By participating in the training of the game as well as in Japan, the design and operation of clothing brand baptism, they brave into the world fashion capital of Paris,boarded the international stage, bloom out of the unique oriental colors.This generation of clothing designers in the absorption of senior designer experience, they are more in-depth comprehensive performance of the unique aesthetic of Japan.
Second, standing on the shoulders of the giant to do the design.
From the above description can be seen that Japan's focus on the development of group-oriented and portal-oriented development of the way so that the overall development of Japanese designers steadily. So there will not be a very special phenomenon of talent failure. In the Junya Watanabe’s design is more mature, in the mentor Kawakubo Ling's full support, he established his own brand.Throughout his more than 20 years of costume design works,vaguely exudes the atmosphere of Issey Miyake.
Third, analysis and interpretation of his clothing design works
A: Deconstruction of Exterior Profile of Garment
Design is the most important part of fashion design. While the external contour structure is the most important part of the design. Naturally external contour structure for the clothing plays a first role, It directly impacts on the clothing gives the first impression of how good or bad. Under the influence of western clothing culture, type A O type Y type X type H type trapezoid and other contour deconstruction and affect the world's clothing profile.
B: The deconstruction of the internal structure of clothing
Beautiful and interesting clothing interior details have the effect of decorative clothing. Deconstruction design of garment parts, Deconstruction design of garment province, Deconstruction design of garment dividing line, are the garment interior deconstruction design of the three important design methods. The provincial highway is a new special stitch that can be used to fit the garment to fit the human body, and the fabric is re-sewn together by reducing the margin. It is a special dividing line.
C: Deconstruction of clothing materials and secondary creation
Like Miyake , Junya Watanabe is also very keen on the design and production of clothing fabrics. He will work with engineers as a mathematician to develop new fabrics. But unlike Issey Miyake , Junya Watanabe ‘s clothing design works more rich three-dimensional and building sense. Such as in 2015 and 2016 Paris Fashion Week for two consecutive years of clothing works, Almost all of the deconstruction is used to fabric the second creation. The overall visual, in the external profile to take a weakening approach, in the internal deconstruction and fabric on the use of deconstruction techniques. This is an excellent interpretation of the African totem mystery. His works in recent years not only has the stage effect.Every piece of clothing in reality are also very beautiful and not unexpectedly after remove those stage the decoration.
Concluding remarks
In summary, according to the doctrine of deconstructionist theory, we can sum up Junya Watanabe's costume design works in the absorption of the mentor Rei Kawakubo's clothing design experience. And through the same as the Miyake life in the design of the fabric up and down enough effort. Eventually he broke a unique charismatic design of the road. Whether it is Junya Watanabe’s own growth path, or his personal design techniques and styles have a lot worthy of our thinking and learn from the place.
