Juun.J
The Juun.J spring summer 2013 men’s collection is called dual, and the color was announced on the invitation. The inspiration cited for the show was the 1948 film Drunken Angel, directed by Akira Kurosawa and evoking post-war Tokyo.
So it was very “40’s gang” silhouettes that served as the starting point for the clothes presented that day at the Natural History Museum. White caps were the order of the day (in fact, this was the gift given to all seated guests), and the fashion show was kept fairly simple (with the exception of a few touches of fluorescent here and there): white, black, chunky, camel, khaki and blue. It would seem that the bac boys aren’t fans of chromatic eccentricity.
Lovely superimpositions on the other hand, and above all garments with incredible cuts. Controlled volumes, with baggy pants caught up by rather high, tight waists in the style of Japanese men’s kimonos. Thin ties to keep things gentlemanly and, above all, the most impressive pieces for me: a camel trench suit topped with…a mid-calf-length trench coat, or this khaki trench suit…absolutely incredible (and that’s where the duality theme comes in…).
And then there’s Juun.J’s killer detail, beyond all the beautiful, imposing pieces. The 3-D print on the sweaters. In my opinion, it’s the touch that makes you realize how beautiful and polished this collection is. Nothing more, nothing less.
