About the Item
Junya Watanabe evening dress composed of crushed velvet in deep purple from the Fall-Winter 1997 collection. The garment is engineered with flatlock seams and geometric panel construction, including shaped waist insets and diagonally set side panels to contour the form. A distinctive design element is the integrated leg aperture at the side of the skirt, which functions as a structured cut-out, creating a deliberate asymmetrical high slit effect when worn. The body is cut with a crew neckline and long fitted sleeves, and the hem extends to ankle length. Fastened at the left side seam with a concealed zip closure. The use of crushed velvet, a synthetic blend with directional pile, enhances surface variation and visual texture, contributing to the designer’s deconstructionist methodology and his exploration of form and body through technical patternmaking. The construction reflects Watanabe’s early interest in sculptural tailoring and anatomical displacement during his formative years at Comme des Garçons.
