Junya Watanabe Spring/Summer 2009 He Saw The Beauty !!!

I remember going to school in the morning and seeing the flower merchants walking down the hills of Bourdon with huge baskets of flowers on their heads.The sight of these women dressed in mis-matched clothes carrying on the heads gravity defiying amounts of flowers held a beauty   and a strength in my eyes.

There is beauty in survival and strength and I loved  that Junya Watanabe chose to Illustrate it in his Spring 09 show. Having partly  grown up in a country who has become the poster child  of  poverty  for the western hemisphere, I find that the beauty and strenght of the people, especially the women often gets overlooked ….See the full amazing,very real show here courtesy of Style.
