Junya Watanabe has been one of our favorite designers in years now. His mix of traditional workwear and up to date fabrics and colors was always appealing to us. Here we take a first look at the Junya Watanabe MAN Fall 2009 Collection and once again we cannot wait for winter to come.

The hunting theme is apparent and a lot of traditional British jackets also appear in the collection. Of course always with that special Watanabe touch. Overall the line looks really smart and sophisticated, but it seems to be a line that is also easy to wear and to relate to. Images via WWD.

Take a look at the complete preview after the jump.

We came across a nice collaboration between eYe Comme des Garcons Junya Watanabe MAN and Levi’s, which is being released this season. The two are no strangers to each other and have worked many times together in the past. This time they got together for a messenger bag. The bag comes in a mix of premium brown leathers and of course Levi’s denim. As if there are not already enough nice messenger bags out there, here is another one to consider!

The Comme Des Garcons x Fred Perry collaboration comes to an end this year, but Junya Watanabe carries on to work with Lacoste on their classic polo. As part of the Junya Watanabe MAN Spring/Summer 2008 collection these 4 polo shirts have been released.
The yellow and pink one look very similar to the Lacoste in-line products. More special are the red and blue one, that come with an updated tonal logo.
These are now available at Praise.
