Founded his own label in 1992

In 1992, on the advice and with the financial backing of Kawakubo herself, he decided to go it alone. The label bearing his name thus came into being.

Worked with other brands

Watanabe has also taken the lead in collaborations between designer brands... He was one of the first designers to seek out and include in his collections brands that represent the best of a given sector – such as North Face, Converse, Levi's – rather than creating a sweetened version, working with them to create new models, meanings, interpretations.

Created a Pirelli capsule

He came to begin his collaboration with Pirelli - along with Brembo, Abarth, Moto Guzzi and others - with the presentation of a special capsule collection inspired by the Pirelli padded jacket with the iconic red and yellow logo worn by motor sport race technicians in the ‘70s. The capsule collection comprises 4 items – 2 overcoats, 1 jacket and 1 T-shirt – revisiting and updating the silhouette of these garments with the use of new materials.
