Junya WatanabeSpring 2002
The Museum at FIT
New York City, United States
Junya Watanabe crafted this dress from pre-owned blue jeans, and then draped it so that the top-stitching forms a sweeping effect that mimics a 19th-century boned bodice. While Watanabe drew on the hippies’ use of repurposed denim, his deft construction skills offer a unique, incredibly-complex exploration of the methodologies of the counterculture movement.
