Thom Browne
Thom Browne established his eponymous brand in New York in the early 2000s, beginning with a radical reinterpretation of American tailoring. Founder and still Chief Creative Officer, Thom Browne transforms grey suits, shirts, cardigans and collegiate uniforms through cropped proportions, precise construction and signatures such as the four-bar motif and tricolour grosgrain. Tailoring remains the starting point, continually pushed into more theatrical territory through embroidery, trompe-l’œil, couture techniques and references to sport and American culture. Thom Browne reimagines tradition through discipline and imagination, creating an instantly recognisable universe where rigour, irony and experimentation coexist with ease.
