Why is Junya Watanabe famous?
Junya Watanabe is famous because of his fashion designs. After working for Comme des Garçons for several years, he established his own brand under the Japanese fashion house's umbrella in 1992. He has since become known for his avant-garde approach to design, which some describe as “techno-couture.” Beyoncé, Michelle Obama, Victoria Beckham, Justin Bieber, Gwen Stefani and Rihanna are just some of the many celebrities who have sported his pieces.
