RUNWAY: Junya Watanabe SS12

Junya Watanabe's country-bumpkin collection for SS12 was unexpected to say the least, at least in Paris. The first few looks were dominated by overalls, seen with waterproof Wellies or heavy work boots and it only reinforced the farm feel of the collection. However, as the models paraded out onto the lush Parisian jardin, it was evident that the focal point of the collection is Watanbe's workmen-inspired outerwear, seen in beautiful shades of red, blue, and olive, or in patterns like tartan or plaid.
