Thom Browne Fall/Winter 2012 | Paris Fashion Week
Little House of Horrors–Gather a high voltage chair, a splash of the macabre and the American sportsman and you have Thom Browne’s latest creation. Stuffed into Browne’s little gray suit, a steroid-induced man appeared with bulging shoulders against a petite alter ego, infused with punk. While sweaters, cut from mohair made for a giant-sized impression, studs and safety pins decorated seams and hems. Injecting the varsity jacket with volume, classic standbys were treated to a whimsical retreat into the dark corners of Browne’s creative genius. Juxtaposed with mid-riff baring tops and garments in watermelon green and pink, the idea of classic menswear was torn to shreds and presented as Thom Browne’s latest fantasy, in some aspects wearable but at large a stirring gesture to sit back and take in.

Thom Browne Spring 2012 | Paris Fashion Week
Browne Extravaganza–A friend to general nonsense, Thom Browne finds the inspiration for this season’s spectacular staging in imagery from the cabaret. Adorning his trademark suiting with fringe and lengthening silhouettes, only to be finished with long beaded stands of pearls, an audacious collection finds its voice in striped abnormalities. From high structured sleeves to wide shapes or jilted proportions, Browne tests the line of reasonable more so than ever with a lineup that still manages to pack an impressive tailored line alongside the bridal veil.

Casting Thom Browne’s novel prints and signature cuts in a new light, a lively group of models come together for an unusual trip to the track stadium. From the stands and field to the locker room, Aiden Andrews, Daisuke Ueda, Robert Rae, Rutger Derksen and Takeshi Mikawai deliver the perfect animated performance. / Hair by Hiro Tsukui with makeup by Yoboon.
Thom Browne Fall 2011 | Paris Fashion Week
Abandoning his trademark skinny suit and staging a lavish feast for fall’s production of a show, Thom Browne took guests on a trip back to colonial days. While models dined on slim pickings, Browne served up a generous helping of coordinated separates with a focus on volume. From puffed sleeves and wide-fitted knickers to trailing trains, the collection brought forth the typical drama tenfold. Although intensive work with silhouettes may have stolen the show, shearling, mohair and wool formed a rich wardrobe of layers, ready to be unpacked for yet another dynamic season from Thom Browne.

As the head designer of Club Monaco for several years, Thom Browne was already a master at cutting the perfect suit for men before the launch of his own label in 2004. With nothing holding him back, Browne injected his sense of humor and wit into his collections, often breaking the limitations and standards set for menswear. The Thom Browne man is not afraid to wear skirts, short shorts with bright red knee-high socks, yellow raincoats, and loves to roll up the hem of his pants. Browne reinvents the classic American look with a dose of fun and eccentricity. His whimsical and flamboyant creations stem from his playful inspirations that range from the perfect beach resort to the tennis court and even a circus freak show. His trademark plaid prints and signature colors, red, white, blue, and grey, were translated into his much anticipated debut menswear-inspired womenswear collection for spring 2011.
