Product Description:

An exceptional early Junya Watanabe MAN archive piece from 2002, embodying the designer’s signature fusion of punk subculture, religious symbolism, and artisanal detailing.

This black cotton shirt is constructed with a classic silhouette, contrasted by a striking cross motif formed through metal studs and multi-colored gem embellishments across the front. The placement evokes both sacred iconography and rebellious energy, a recurring theme in early Comme des Garçons design language.

Each stud and gem element adds dimensionality and light reflection, transforming a minimalist shirt into a powerful visual statement. The balance between restraint and intensity reflects Junya Watanabe’s mastery in redefining traditional menswear through conceptual detailing.

Highly collectible and rarely seen on the market, especially from this early era, this piece stands as a true archive collectible bridging fashion and subcultural expression.
