Thom Browne, Genius

I am increasingly becoming a huge fan of Thom Browne. Of course I don't own anything by him, but I will as soon as I can find something on sale, if that is possible. Anyways, this year Mr. Browne was invited to show at Pitti Uomo in Florence which has become renowned for it's extra special shows with a more creative twist. Thom Browne set out to not do a fashion show but instead created something far more interesting. 40 models wore identical Browne suits with a camel overcoat and a classic Thom Browne varsity cardigan hung next to them. His creative is so well balanced by his classic items with a slight twist. I find that aesthetically there is nobody better. He sees every angle and doesn't ever seem to hold back. Even though he claimed this was going to be an introductory show to the European market, I don't think he would have done it any other way. I think it's beautiful, the clothes are great and he is only getting better.

I have to totally agree with you. I have been following his line of work for quite some time. Just like you, I am also looking to find the perfect attire to purchase from him....I also would recommend looking at the Black Fleece collaboration that he is doing for Brooks Brothers. I think that if your not bold enough to wear the short pants, and tight blazer then the Black Fleece is an in-between option. I'm off tp seattle soon...so might be back with some dapper stuff :)
