Walk the Walk: Junya Watanabe F/W 2011 Menswear Collection

Focus point of this collection: Jackets and sweaters. This time around, Junya Watanabe is more concentrated on the use of materials for the jackets. I personally is not a big fan of the pattern on Icelandic-knit but after how Junya modified it in his collection, I have become madly in love with those pieces. Overall, a solid and wearable collection.

Pros:
- Great use of mixed materials. Suede + knitwear work very well here.
- Icelandic patterned jacket, this is what everyone should get this coming F/W season.
- The argyle pattern and checkered pattern on the jackets are nice. These patterns bring out the urban feel of this collection.
- I am always a fan of the duffle coats in Junya collections.

Cons:
- I hope this is the last season of the cropped pants.
- It seems like the leather jacket is slightly out of place here.

Eye Candies:
- 2 shads of grey tone sport jacket
- Icleandic patterned jackets (all of them)
- checkered lumberjack jacket
