Juun.J could be amidst a creative burn out, I've always liked his recognized and iconic styles of oversized coats, bomber jackets and windbreakers.  At times the fits seemed a little off, but I see this as a part of the Junn.J style; unstructured in its superimposed ad hoc appeal.  His Men's Fall 2018 collection, in my opinion, may have been his peak of creativity.  With the recognizable Juun.J oversized outdoor wear of nylon/polymide jackets, mixed with the plaid, tartan pattern work.  A duel sex assemblage of both female and male models for a men's collection, that I have always found curious (particularly with Junn.J's shows), as seen in his previous collections was the 'genderless' tag or selling point impression that Junn.J's collection/s have a unisex appeal.  If I was to view this collection without any deeper analysis, the women seem more comfortable within these male styles than the male models.  The outsizes and exaggerated aspects of masculine clothing via Juun.J's creative mind of mountaineering and military/outwear styles, actually have more of sex appeal fitted over the female model.   So, therefor I find it hard to see this has an Spring 2019 men's selection.

The tactical rugged military infused styles are present with this collection.  Baseball caps puled down low over foreheads of the models, the plaid pattern work is seen once again.  Also noted are the blazers and trench coats, both are 2017 and 2018 trends which are now moving into (hopefully for the designers) 2019.  Although it may petter out as buyers lose interest going into the upcoming seasons.

Junn.J's Spring 2019 men's collection is not really ground breaking, rather it is an array of reworked selections of previous Junn.J styles.  Stand out pieces are the silver insulation styled long jackets and pleated skirt, playing into the industrial look/trend which is creeping into 2019.

The colour palette ranges from Junn J's clean sports wear inspired range of dark blues, camel and cream whites, sharp yellows, industrial silver intermixed with plaid and tartan patten work, set against neutral grays and achromatic black and whites.
