For Fall Winter 2008-09, Japanese designer Junya Watanabe presented a collection based on tailored uniforms familiar to bankers and stockbrokers.
Holding court in La Bourse, the historical Paris stock exchange, Watanabe sent down looks that would fit right in there.
2, 3, and 4 button jackets were the basis of the collection as nearly all looks presented were tailored. Watanabe took classic inspiration and made it modern and relevant by shrinking blazers to slim, tight proportions. Other jackets were mixed with a varsity slant through sleeves and pockets.
Blazers were teamed with equally slim denim pants. Details were added to jackets such as red stitched button holes and piping.
Trousers were cropped by way of rolling them up to reveal socks of patterned plaid, natch.
MORE PICS AFTER THE JUMP.
