If you're too focused on the towering Erykah Badu-meets-Star Wars head wraps, you might miss the intricacies of Junya Watanbe's Spring/Summer 2010 collection. But look past the eyebrow-less models and the clothes strike a surprising tone of restraint and wearability in a season hallmarked by exposed bras and body-baring sheer fabrics.
If anything, Watanabe's collection is the diametric opposite of the barely-there trend, featuring long, checkerboard patterned frocks over leggings and stumble-safe flat shoes. Tailoring is another dominant theme--Hillary Clinton could seamlessly slide these sculpted pantsuits into her wardrobe to make an impression on her next Japan visit.
Much is said about the state of fashion when a show stands out more by covering girls up than letting it all hang out. Rihanna wouldn't know what to do with herself. --Adrien Field
