Junya Watanabe just went Alpha

How do you combine deconstruction with utility and precision? Alpha Industries x Junya Watanabe have an answer for you.

You don’t need to see a tag to recognise a Junya Watanabe design – the Japanese mastermind’s deconstructive approach is in itself an accurate indicator, protruding through every garment. Within his new collab with Alpha Industries, we’re delighted to peek at a (literally) seamless conflux between Watanabe’s avant-garde, Tokyo-imported edge and the brand’s precise, outerwear-y tailoring. It’s sleek, yet utilitarian; Watanabe-style multi-pocketed, with Alpha’s DNA in its orange lining: proposing a palpable sense of the two brands, united in this jacket’s innovative design – Available May 22 on alphaindustries.eu and through select global retailers. Limited units. No restock.
