Junya Watanabe AW2006 Punk Mohair Sweater
In the fall of 2006, Junya produced among his most famous men’s and women’s shows, with numerous pieces from both collections still pervasive in the present-day fashion zeitgeist. His menswear paid tribute to Martin Scorsese's iconic antihero Travis Bickle, immortalized by Robert DeNiro in the film Taxi Driver. The clothing stuck to a drab olive palette, certainly a reference to Bickle’s classic military surplus jacket, with his distinct look channeled again in the numerous models who sported tightly buzzed mohawks.
This mohair draws inspiration from Malcolm McLaren and Vivienne Westwood's legendary Seditionaries knits. The chaos suggested by the color scheme is further accented by the silhouette, which contains asymmetric sleeves and a cropped fit.
Condition: 9/10. No significant flaws.
