The Sartorialist

Love the stitch detail on the pants in the last two photos.

perfection.

Nice looking outers.

wondering about fabrics…

In the first pictures the jackets look pretty cool and original. I can see the guys beeing able to wear them all the time, since they are both elegant and sporty. Perfect for jeans, perfect for more business casual outfits!!

These looks are amazing!

The fair isle print blazer, the perfect length of the pants and how it was tapered!!!

3rd photo: holy mustache!

these are simply handsome.

Junya Watanabe … is always very interesting

I absolutely loved this collection, all the jackets look awesome!

Hugs :)

That last pair of denims is absolutely atrocious. Otherwise, I really enjoy the rest.

Great pockets, love the shortish pants. Love all the texture and hoods, and it all looks very well constructed.

I'm not quite ready for another round of cargo jeans (last picture).

those blazers are beyond cool!

Sweater lapels! Love it!

And couldn't this change the reputation of "Christmas sweaters" forever?!

Amaaaaaaaaaazing

pic #2 = ♥

I love your work. Its just so…there in the moment. Your probably wondering how I ran across your blog, but I thank Intel and their visual life project that their advertising on youtube that I found you. You happened to be on the spotlight and I clicked your video and that really was an eye opener. In all honesty, I would be honored to be taught photography from someone with such a outlook on the world and the internet.

the clothes here looking quite casual showing many shades of red, I like what you've shown as Junya has mixed it up once again

oh, those are very nice. the first one, especially. the styles have such great modern japanese feel to them
i love junya watanabe's designs. he's very original !

love your blog , it's really something.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Really digging the second half of these tops.

The last one, not so much.

So hard to get creative nowadays.

Love the stuff he did with comme de garcons.

Rad!

Wow, he's totally ripped off the Norwegian selbu rose pattern for the jackets on pic 1 and 3.

it will be cool when guys start wearing knits like these!

this scruff is depressing!

The fifth jacket could totally be worn on on the street by any man with a fashion sense, defs my favorite peice

Great coats!

oh goodness, how much do I love the sweater blazers! they are amazing, I want one for me!

love.

I love the clothes, but even more than the clothes, I love their hair. That turn of the century uber long on top thing is really great.

Oh! I like a little levity with my morning coffee!

Funniest things ever!

I love the fair isle prints on the guys. It's such a fresh yet retro look. I'd love to see it move off the runway into real life…something I could see happening in New York City but probably not Chicago. But a fashionable girl can dream!

Its as if these men came walking out of my coffee shop. Come to Portland, OR Scott!

Um, painter pants are back? Hmm. I like the sweaters, they point to a new direction in men's fashion, less stuffy. I also like the short styles of pants this season.

I need to bring these jackets to the Midwest:) Looks wonderful!

really if you can not improve on traditional designs 'ethnic' and work wear designs then don't bother.

Ridiculously cool!

I love and want every one of those blazers!!!!

WOW, I love these designs, esp. the faire isle cardigans & sweater jackets – they hark back to the American heritage & tradition…something that I try to hang onto otherwise, I fear we will lose touch with our identity in this fast changing world…rather than spending so much time on our facebooks, twitters, blackberrys, when was the last time you remember sitting down to write a letter to someone you love? When was the last time you wrote in your own personal journal, for no one else to read but for your eyes only so that your memories and thoughts are your own, not to be shared with hundreds of others? When was the last time you called someone on the phone to have a truly meaningful and thoughtful conversation?
I long for those days…and yet I know we cannot live without all the technology available at demand and instantaneous…

love third pic, bit of Van Gogh goin on there, :)

Great photos as usual!

Sweater blazers? Awesome. I'm not crazy about the slightly-too-short sleeves combined with the short pants. I love the short pants – the brown shoes deserve them – but the sleeves just look off to me and would be even more wrong on a bike (or most anything involving movement).

Very amusing. This collection has brought a smile to my face. The first few photos of the take on the fair aisle sweaters was especially ingenious.

I have nothing complimentary to say about the clothes.

1. My wife has a cardigan version (c. 1980s) of the top photo's jacket.

2. The jeans in the bottom photo are styling rip-offs of Carhartt, Walls and OshKosh.

3. None of the models look happy or proud to be in these duds. If the people paid to present the clothes do not look happy about it, you know they think that these are marketplace-losers.

4. Whoever styled the head of the mustached man should lose their barber/beautician license. Not only does the style detract from the model's face, but it also detracts from the clothing presented.

5. The Fair Isle patterning across the jackets does not work for me. The closest to successful is the one in the second photo. It may have been better if there would not have been the repetition of the white diamond/red background patch at the bottom of the jacket. After that, if the fourth one would have lost the velvet patch pockets and kept besom/flap pockets, that might have worked.

6. In photo 4 and photo 8 – this was Paris, not Brisbane. Nice shoes.

Nice indeed! keep it up!

"Oh my. The looks on the faces all seem to be saying, "honestly I know this sweater looks silly…I do.""

I agree! Great photos, as ever, but I do think the clothes look silly.

Fun, practical, something new, I just love it!

great blazers, but i'm not sure i like the plaid/hat/logger look – more into the ski bum attitude!

hiiiiiiiipsterrrrrrrrrr . . .

fair isle sweater jackets…
what a novel idea!

I pretty much can't stand any of this. Way too feminine-looking — I like a man to look the part — masculine, but put together well.

Oh my God!, i am in love with those Jacquard Jacquets, amazing, so fresh <3

I really don't like it. Cargo jeans with sweater blazers? I don't like it at all.

those blazers are the kind of clothes you will steal from your boyfriend

I don't know exactly how I feel about these. They all were definitely unique and original.

I loved the look of the mustachioed model. Some of the jackets and pants were quite nice. Not too keen on the short pants, tho.

Photo's, as always, are impeccable.
As far as design, I love the idea!!
The coats are particularly great.
But the blazers??? Each one has details that seem off
Arm length, shoulder placement, front pockets.
…maybe that was the point??

for all the englanders out there… this stuff is bang on trend, but you could pick most of it up from primark for under a tenner. just sayin. :)

I don't see why this is so good. The patterns, apart from the first, look cheap and the colours are boring. All the other pieces have boring colours as well and some of the outfits are just plain ugly. The lumberjack coat has a hideous colourscheme and the jeans in the last picture look like 5 dollar skaterjeans. I mean, I know Junya made this, but that doesn't make it good. The only thing I really liked was the third guys hair.

Oh no, more endorsement of the boat shoe. I get a fright every time I see them on a hipster. Some things can become cool, but surely not the boat shoe. I like the concept of the fair isle sweater as a blazer but not the reality! too contrived for me.

oh great designs

I like the knit winter sweater pattern incorporated into blazers & jackets. Very nice!

Conan O'Brien looks great in here lol

great photos, these looks are so great. i want to meet a man who dresses this way…

http://adorablydeliciouslp.blogspot.com/

get off the runway and go on the streets!

Really nice looking pieces.

Great photos.

DinoKatrino.com

I love these blazers so much but these guys look like Williamsburg residents silently judging the people in the audience. Loose the 'tudes dudes!!!

Love the redhead's style, but the clothes sort of exemplify "trying much, much too hard" for me.

I'm loving the print here, and that handlebar stache is insane!

xx

sftrend

Sorry, but these clothes look like they came from Goodwill! Absolutely hideous.

I love the collection!!! And your photos are just amazing:D

http://annakatharinaa.blogspot.com/

Ha. Make that 55.

OMG the second one is the man of my dreams!!!!!

It's very smart to turn the runway into a street, and to feature typical things such as l'Equipe or parisian public benches. It brings fashion and people (or what is supposed to be a typical man…) closer. Indeed, the influence street style is striking here.

love the look with the newspaper and the desert boots. very effordless. and the safety strip. never seen a safety strip being so stylish. bravo

Does anyone know what is the name of that redhead model with mustache? From picture number 3? He is interesting looking individual.

Wow! The use of the Fair Isle pattern is intriguing!

I live in Tokyo and am a big guy and can only accessorize when it comes to CdG and J.Watanabe. Are sizes different in say, Paris/NYC? Or is everything made to suit waifs? Anyone knows?

talk about a pull from the Bay Area aesthetic. This has oakland written all over it

LOVE it. Fairisle sweaters as blazers, brilliant! Plus, those guys look adorable.

I like to think this is what my Swedish Grandfather looked like when he was young!!!

some of this looks good. most looks clown-like.

Okay, those sweaters just look ridiculous. And some of those haircuts! I'd be embarassed to go out with any guy that looked like them. C'mon people, let's get real here.

CW – I totally agree with you – the minute I saw these I thought about my navy LL Bean Norwegian sweater from the mid 80s! In fact, just bought a vintage one on ebay.

Still like it – nice to see it making a comeback in a reinterpreted way.

Beautiful boys – more please.

Nerdy Chic!

This is something I always love.

However, the models are a little blase and really distract from the craftsmanship of the clothes.

carpenter jeans? really???

these are perfection..the comfort of a sweater in the sophistication of a blazer…

I have never said this before, but I'm not a fan of this shoot in terms of the style, not the quality of the photos. The photo with the red headed guy who buttoned the bottom button of his blazer is just embarrassing!

It's good, but it just looks like what every hipster boy I know wears. Nothing new. Still like it though.

Denim looks like Mister Freedom!? Fresh look!

Sweaters like blazers! Love!

VERY NICE JAQUET !!!

I love the shoes in the last picture and I love the look in the first picture. What's with all the models looking hung over?

Two words for the one with the hat:
ELMER FUDD

I really LOVE the prints blazers, especially the second one. it’s wonderful!

not a big fan of colours.I love jil sander for menswear.

it's great the way Junya Watanabe took the concept of sweaters and turned them into blazer's awesome!

Great clothes, great shots! But the poor models all look so ill/exhausted/dirty — ugh… )-:

Pure perfection, the models remind me of the movie Diary of Anne Frank. http://www.copperetiquette.wordpress.com

True words, Beth. Come to Montreal and you'll find hundreds of these boys in art school studios and underground loft parties. What's new, Junya?

The clothes are forgettable, the models stand out like characters from a movie. The one with the wild look and the red headed one with the mustache–brilliant.

fair isle knits NEVER looked so good!

Junya is so wearable and so bang on trend for the UK especially right now! The use of knitwear as tailoring is great and although some pieces are a little radicle you guys need to remember that these are catwalk pieces! Saying that the use of raw denim, deck shoes, chukka suede boots, carpenter jeans and penny collar gingham is so wearable for the majority now!
Have you any pic's of the Dries show to put up?
Ciao
T.T.T.

not feelin this

I think I have seen all of these guys in Williamsburg, Brooklyn :)

I love the shoes, chunky is good, like the micro dot on the socks too.

The jeans however are the same as early 2000s skateboarder jeans, not my taste.

Some of the freshest men's fashion I've seen in a long time.

I love cute patten and nice shoes!

favorite part? The shirts. variety, style, flare, and very very interesting.
