The theme of Junya Watanabe Comme des Garçons' SS14 collection, presented at Paris Fashion Week, was "Folklore."
Jersey and faux suede dresses appeared, accompanied by the rhythm of African percussion instruments. The colors were primarily gray and beige. Two pieces of fabric were joined together and incised to create fringe. Various designs were featured, including knitted fringe and beading.
A smock-like cotton blouse featured a fluffy shape created by balloon-like threads of fabric, and a red or turquoise beaded necklace was sewn to the chest. Classic denim was patchworked with suede and ethnic-inspired jacquard fabrics.
Footwear included slip-ons, boots, and mules, combining faux leathers like python and suede. The numerous spikes added a rock vibe.
