For Junya Watanabe of Comme des Garçons, the design principle of monozukuri, or the art, science and craft of making things, guides his work. His designs are about experimentation, as he endlessly reworks his garments into fresh constructions that offer a reinterpretation of modern dress standards with playful irreverence. His clothes have been described as intriguing, experimental and complex, as well as complicated to make and sometimes difficult to wear. In recent years, his collections have moved away from specific garments into abstracted forms. In this piece, Watanabe uses an intricate pleating technique to create a cocoon-like sculpture that engulfs the wearer's body.
