SS03 Junya Watanabe Man “Numbers” Monogram Trousers

Displayed is an iconic pair of Spring Summer 2003 Junya Watanabe Man “Numbers” Trousers. Shortly after graduating from the prestigious Bunka Fashion College, Junya Watanabe was taken under the wing of Rei Kawakubo as an apprentice at Comme des Garcons. Rei Kawakubo saw potential in Watanabe and provided him the opportunity as a fabric cutter for the label. As Watanabe’s craft developed, he was promoted to creative director under the Tricots Comme Des Garcons knitwear line. This spotlight allowed his brilliance to flourish, minimalistic yet intricately designed pieces flaunting the runway shortly after. Spending the next few years honing and finalizing his abilities, in 1992 Rei Kawakubo proposed the idea of his own namesake under the Comme Des Garcons label. This was the birth of Comme Des Garçons Junya Watanabe MAN.

 

This pair of trousers perfectly exemplify the extensive detail Junya Watanabe implements into each runway season. Following his iconic 2002 “Poem” collection, the Spring Summer 2003 “Numbers” show was held to a heightened standard. A new monogram print coated the runway, debuting an assortment of numbers atop a variety of cascading silhouettes. The digitized insignia has now become an emblem of Watanabe’s prime, symbolizing an alluring code yet to be decrypted.

 

The trousers coming in a deep navy base, a pinstripe layer is subtly contrasted against the black patterning. Numbered monogram lines the pants, circling each leg and pushing towards the bottom hem. Discreet hits of a muted red and dotted white tower above the woven cotton in a pinstripe medium, pulling the trousers together in a final triumph. The garment is tagged as size small, equating to a (32x30) and have maintained a pristine overall condition.
