Junya Watanabe On My Wrist Meaning p.1: Who Is Junya?

On the most hyped album of the 2021, Kanye West’s Donda, there is a song “Junya”. The song, released this week, prominently references Japanese Comme Des Garcons fashion designer Junya Watanabe.
The song is an intriguing mix of religion, braggadocio and consumerism. To paraphrase the overall vibe, it has Kanye saying "Look at me, I've got expensive accessories on my arms, from sophisticated artisan designers. I am chosen by God to be the leader of man".
How did a Japanese designer become the symbol of cultural status in mainstream American in 2021?

This makes a lot of sense. Kanye has been about function and minimalism in design for years now, so of course he’d look up to someone like Junya

You need to understand hip hop beef to understand why he is glorifying JW. Virgil made Drake a Patek. Kanye got jealous.
