Thom Browne @ Colette

Colette seems to be busier than ever these days with their shop-in-shops and collaborations. So why not team up with another busy character in Thom Browne to showcase the complete spring collection. With obvious inspirations from the grass courts, Thom has taken his shrunken silhouettes in a slightly new direction with some great accessories and tennis racket print sport coats. Thom Browne has been getting a lot of publicity these days between his runway shows, Pitti, his awards and his interesting take on menswear. I am happy to see more online and in Colette because its one of the only ways I can see his collections being in Canada. I did have a chance to go to his Hudson St. location in New York and really liked the shop. The spring collection has a definite increase in preppy-ness and sportswear references which make for an overall light and positive feeling. I'm definitely a fan of the tennis racket print, sweat bands, ties and great merchandising by Colette - as if you'd expect anything else.

I really enjoy Thom Browne's stuff. And you're right about sometimes only really seeing great design at/through colette before it gets disseminated. I live in detroit, which I think is even more remote (design speaking) than canada and have lived vicariously through colette for a while now...
