Thom Brown Fall 2008

Have to say it.  I don’t get this collection.

I know 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.

    LOL!
    Well Thom Brown is not the first showing “unwearable” stuff :-) But he is creative, that’s art! He will inspire design houses to create more fitted clothes for the rest of us:-)

    This collection reminds me of things that could be worn in some new (even more frightening) version of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory ala Johnny Depp.

    And yes, his pieces are crazy insanely well-tailored, but wings on the the jackets and Bermuda length shorts make these models look like creepy school boys rather than men in beautiful clothing.
