Prot�g� of Rei Kawakubo, whom he worked with for eight years. In 1992, he created his own line under Comme des Gar�ons, 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.
