Junya Watanabe Spring 2010 Men's: Menswear Fashion Collections on men.style.com: "There's a lot to be said for face value in fashion, but it rarely gets said when Japanese designers are the subject. They contribute almost nothing to the dialogue, preferring to let their work do the talking for them. Unfortunately, the way they approach that work is so loaded with nuance that the hapless Westerner is left drowning in self-imposed subtext, especially when the designer at hand is the cheerfully gnomic Junya Watanabe. He has always insisted that his menswear is driven by nostalgia. His new collection felt even more so, like a relatively straight gander at a certain patrician style of dressing. (He described it as 'snobbish.') From the first passage—plaid jacket, white pants, foulard with pocket square, correspondents—the look was rakish gent. A tan shorts suit looked like a modern take on golfing plus-fours (with a lot of help from the flat cap), and Junya's latest strategic alliance—with Scottish raincoat legend Mackintosh—was another clue to his protagonist's heartland."
