Showroom time! Last weekend Junky again took part in the London Show ROOMS for Paris Men’s Fashion Week.
Despite some scorchio weather and Paris Gay Pride slightly stealing the event’s thunder, the exhibition was a stormer. We met fashion types from all over the world and it looks like Junky will be stocked in some amazing new locations by the end of the year.
There’s an incredible array of London menswear talent at the exhibitions – it’s always a pleasure to see what our contemporaries are up to and we had good fun making friends with our lovely neighbours Matthew Miller.
We’re really proud to be taking part in the London showROOMS together with the most prestigious new British fashion brands out there.
Last week’s Junky Air catwalk was an amazing show, full of the label’s uniquely fierce fashion from start to finish. The collection looked incredible, with the Chesterfield Coats, Jumpsuits, Chiffon Ponchos and Flightsuits all deserving special mention. Styled by ex-Bodymap legend David Holah, the models’ cheeky air force hats and the striped bodysuits brought an irreverant touch to the proceedings. The show’s setting was totally in keeping with the innovative flight-inspired collection – blues skies and clouds were projected across the walls and the soundtrack kicked off with the Red Hot Chilli Pepper’s awesome ‘Aeroplane’.
More imagery and video from the show can be seen on the Junky Styling Facebook and Flickr pages, and the Flightsuits and Jumpsuits are now available to order through bouf.com.

These fashion illustrations from the Amelia’s Magazine review of our catwalk show look so good we had to post them straightaway. Three incredibly talented fashion illustrators, Olivia Rose, Abi Heyneke and Madi came to the show, and like at the turn of the 20th century, translated what they saw into beautiful illustrations almost overnight.

After a fantastic – and hectic – week at the London Fashion Week Estethica Womenswear Exhibition, we barely had time to catch our breath before the Estethica Men’s Showroom kicked off. The stunning new Ladders collection was shown for the first time, with trousers, tops, jackets and jumpers all featuring Junky’s signature ladder-stitch detail. The elegant Portico rooms in Somerset House were the perfect setting for the structured and deconstructed designs.
The collection, entirely in black and denim, is a great example of Junky’s wearable individualism, the ladder detail adding a strong twist to the classic designs.
Krt from Junky talks about the inspiration behind the Ladders collection:
‘We began by playing around with the word ‘upcycling’, which to us meant going up or ascension. We focused on ladders as a means to ascend, and from that literal physical interpretation, we moved on to imposing the structure of rungs of a ladder on garments and materials. Thus the ladder range was born. We were so excited about the range that after being invited to do an installation as part of the Estethica Men’s showroom, the obvious thing to focus on was ladders, and clothing draped on ladders in the room. It was a fantastic room too, the Portico rooms in Somerset House overlooking the Thames.’
The Ladder pieces from the collection are in the shop now, and more are forthcoming in Spring shades. Any pieces from the collection can be made to order in a number of colours.
