Junya Watanabe's COMME des GARÇONS JUNYA WATANABE MAN Spring/Summer 2017 collection show was held at Les Docks, the fashion and design university town in Paris.
The theme was simply "thugs." The inspiration came from characters from "Black Cat, White Cat," the 1998 film directed by Emir Kusturica about gypsies living on the banks of the Danube.
The show kicked off with a floral-print half-sleeve shirt and cropped pants. Tattoos on the models' faces, arms, and legs gave them a truly bad-boy vibe. Since the collection was inspired by movies, there were also jackets and T-shirts printed with old movie posters, keeping with the movie theme. The collection also featured a wide selection of leather items, essential for bad boys, including half coats and blousons, as well as tailored jackets with leather sleeves and a jacket made in collaboration with Levi's. The show continued with elements of workwear and uniforms, and ended on a happy note with a shirt and Bermuda shorts set with small floral patterns on the sleeves.
