The trend forelators predict a preparation invival. The all-American look, born from rural clubs from the mid-century and made popular in films from the eighties, seems to be in the air again. A 17-year-old I know is on my way every weekend for vintage polo shirts, and Luca Guadagnino films a new version of the novel by Bret Easton Ellis, American Psycho. That about Synthetizes it.
If PrEP will make a comeback on the start and runways in the coming weeks, this would not surprise Thom Browne. “I am always in that world because I love its timelessness and ease,” he says. “I love the idea that real clothing is worn in real ways, and not clothing that is too expensive. And talk about sustainability – you can wear these things forever.” Just don’t call it passing whim.
The Thom Brown tops that appear on jackets and jackets in his new collections for women and men paint a picture of the preparatory lifestyle. In their four quadrants are embroidered tennis rackets, a swimmer, an anchor and 1965, the year Browne was born. Parts of the collections could find their way to country clubs and swimming pool parties, things like an exceptional hand knit Argyle Cardigan, a neat raincoat in a green technical cordura dust, one of the Bermuda Shorts. The jeans, browne, was careful to point out, were made with Selvedge denim in the best denim factory in Japan – the only people who are obsessive about American style Dan Browne might be the Japanese; They even have a name for it, Amekaji.
But while he is building the TB repertoire, Browne is just as committed to and meticulously about adjusting as always, especially the gray suit, but also his adapted plaid tweeds and silk Mogadors. On the theme, a gray skirt suit was covered with a tights-shaped corset and taking it to only-for-superfans extreme extreme, other suits were intarsely or embroidered with trompe l’Oil effect bikinis.
In other news it is the 10th birthday of the Hector bag, so you will see many iterations of the dog-shaped bag here. The Palladian window prints and embroidery are a nod to the new Browne project, the renovation of an 18th -century house in the state of New York that is now underway.
