Looking ahead to SS26, and the menswear collection by Junya Watanabe; eyewear featured by Kuboraum
Stark, face-hugging shapes, bold thick-rims and trending eyewear in all sizes – from small ovals to oversized geometric shapes were the ideal finishing touch at the catwalk presentation by Junya Watanabe SS26, a collection for men where opulent colours and textures were prevalent in silhouettes which drew on iconic looks from past decades. In the designer’s FW2004 collection, tailored suits were featured made from upholstery fabrics found in antique markets. In this SS26 collection, Wantanabe revisits this direction once again.
The eyewear by Kuboraum featured on the catwalk included the wraparound mask E21 SUN in the Reisen Series, a bold wraparound acetate mask. Also making an appearance were the E22 SUN, an iconic close-fitting mask deign; small, round sunglasses H62 SUN, and H34, one of our favourite metal masks from the Berlin label – and a trending eyewear shape that has a futuristic, sci-fi aesthetic.
