Executive summary: Comme des Garçons designer

Protégé of Rei Kawakubo, whom he worked with for eight years. In 1992, he created his own line under Comme des Garçons, showing in Paris the following year. A menswear line was added in 2005. In 2007, Watanabe designed an All Star sneaker for Converse. His designs tend towards a mixture of the technical, the abstract, and, despite absurdities on the runway, the pragmatic.
