Junya Watanabe MAN made an appearance at Paris Fashion Week over the weekend, presenting an amalgamation of pop culture influences for its Spring/Summer 2023 collection. With the subversive track Born Under Punches by Talking Heads playing in the background, Watanabe sets the scene with a look incorporating a Honda logo cap, fitted nylon blazer displaying a faded print of The Girl With Hair Ribbon by Roy Lichtenstein, and drop-crotch jeans featuring Keith Haring logo patches and embroidery.
The rest of the show follows a similar vein, combining Watanabe's detail-focused tailoring with both new and old references which have pervaded across time — from Netflix, Coca-Cola, and Honda logos to unmistakable works from Basquiat and Andy Warhol. The SS23 apparel pieces — including tracksuits, blouson jackets, mohair cardigans, anorak jackets, patchwork denim, ankle-cut pants, and flannels — can for the most part be seen as elevated staples, serving as easily wearable statement pieces.
In addition to the logo-heavy caps, accessories include a gloss-orange tote and an understated eye-branded crossbody bag. Rounding out the assemblage are collaborative New Balance Nobium sandals in black and RC30 sneakers found in various colorways inspired by the retro NB 320 silhouette.
