Supreme is teaming up with Junya Watanabe this fall for a collaboration that pulls from the JUNYA WATANABE COMME des GARÇONS MAN archives. For those less familiar, Watanabe has been a key figure in avant-garde fashion since launching his own line in 1992, after years working under Rei Kawasaki at Comme des Garçons. He's known for his experimental approach to materials and construction - think solar-powered outerwear and car interior fabrics reworked into clothing - while also reimagining classic workwear staples through his signature patchwork techniques.
The collection is pretty extensive, featuring some standout pieces including a Schott leather peacoat, a GORE-TEX denim parka and matching pants, and a patchwork puffy jacket with coordinating cargo pants and backpack. Rounding out the range are a work jacket and pant set, knitwear, button-ups, multiple hoodies and sweatpants, tees, a five-panel cap, beanie, and keychain. It's a solid mix of technical pieces and workwear essentials with that distinctive Watanabe aesthetic.
The collection drops November 4th in the US and EU, with Japan following on November 6th. No pricing details have been announced yet, but given the collaboration partner and material choices (GORE-TEX, Schott leather), expect this one to sit at the higher end of Supreme's pricing spectrum.
