One of the shows that I am loving from Paris is the Thom Browne collection. The makeup is very clever and unique for menswear. This collection reminds me of the classic English schoolboy with a suited up upper body and knickers on bottom. Keep reading for the full collection…

Thom Brown has quickly become the fashion world’s sweetheart, a recognizable face within the industry so saturated with men’s suits. Apparently, investors just realized that his suits can cost about $5,000 each and they’re not holding their own on the rack. Which means canceled orders for Spring and Fall from small boutiques and larger department stores and the possibility of bankruptcy.
Much to everyone’s surprise since he has a multi-million dollar partnerships with Harry Winston, Moncler and Brooks Brothers.

For a slender fellow, or anorexic as some of my douche bag fans would say, it is hard for me to find a suit that fits without expensive drastic tailoring. Thow Browne however, appreciates us lanky breed of men by making slim fitting, trendy suits, which is why I will support just about anything he makes. His newest collection for Brooks Brothers called “Black Fleece” is no acception to my praise Thom mentality. His accented lapels and long coats have caused me to destroy my computer’s keyboard due to the drool that is flowing out of my mouth. I could do with out the argile. I guess I’m a bit over it by now, but no one’s perfect. Now only if I could stumble upon enough money to actually afford a Thom Browne suit. I suppose Christmas is right around the corner right?
If you’re looking to buy your favorite Fashion Indie writer a piece or five from this collection, you can head over to a Brooks Brothers store, or check out their website here.
Thanks Selectism.

Have to say it. I don’t get this collection.
I know Thom Brown has been talked about as “the savior” of mens fashion, but his collection is just plain stupid. Fine, the simpler pieces may make sense and yes I can’t deny his amazing ability to make a wonderfully tailored jacket, but the high-water flood pants and bermuda suits this dude is pushing out are just ridiculous. Who wears this stuff besides Thom and his models?
Also noted is the model in the feather jacket. What the f*ck is that thing and why would anyone in their right mind ever wear it? I’ve met Thom before and as much as I love who he is in person his collection of unwearable, prissy wear is just plain silly. Hate to say it, but where are we without a little bit of honesty. Remember Indies, just because something is “different” from the norm, doesn’t mean it’s good fashion.
P.S. If you do choose to expose your pasty ankles and knees, please apply some of that tanning lotion or get a tan. No one wants to be blinded by your UV free wobblers.
