[Analog]

No?

[keagan]

I REALLY like the look of the stacked sleeves on the jacket. Im not sure if that was entirely intentional though

I like the roses on the shoes too.

Did anyone make an entry/thread about the brooks brothers collection that Thom made?

i was hoping that the black fleece collection was gonna be affordable for poor fucks like me but the pricing is pretty ridiculous...

their blazers are like 3 grand, right?

Love Thom Brown (revolutionary indeed!) but i didnt care for this collection all too much. Felt like the mixed plaid on plaid was very CDG. I too was wondering if there was a thread to discuss the Thom Browne for Brooks Brothers (like to see more from that collection)

Just want to get some conversation going but, what is it that you find revolutionary about Thom?

[Minkous]

I think Thom's traditional menswear/suits have a VERY distinguished tailored effect that not many can replicate. I think his work can be very subtle but at the same time revolutionary.

How so? I still don't see how you think it's revolutionary.

[Minkous]

idk i guesss its maybe just in my eyes i see it as revolutionary. Although, i know his cuts and attentions to such quality tailoring really inspires me and my way of thinking about traditional menswear. But who knows just my thoughts..(idk not thinkin straight right now kinda outta it so maybe i should shut up already)

[Guest]

probably .,.

[Minkous]

yeah this is what you get for drinking and searching the forums

[Lucas0607]

Well it looks like the usual thom browne stuff. Except those flowery things and those.. things. But i still love Thom browne's suits. those jackets are spot on as always. So sharp, clean and sleek. And I've always been a fan of thom browne's cropped trousers. So yeah, those are still great, but then again, not new.

[schmoses]

maybe more paradigm shattering than revolutionary no?

his is a cut that refers to 50s american male tailoring with a clear nod to yamamoto and ferre' in some styling looks for presentation this season. the infusion of idealized 60s beachwear contributes to his ongoing proposal of gender fluidity examples in skirts from a/w 07 and womens wear beach towels in current showing.

always an interesting show but should possibly leave the catwalk-show-effect-florets to the undercovers, mcqueens and pilatis of the world.

[Larry Bird]

wow, i dunno...whats up the the jockstrap/fannypack thing?..looks like you can snap em off though..

like the beige overcoat alot, the one above guy with surfboard.

and the white wristband....thats about it...too over the top for me.

[mr fluffernutter]

so this thom browne guy is a mental case right?

[destructodisk]

You just don't understand FASHION.

[mr fluffernutter]

[Larry Bird]

You just don't understand FASHION.

i dont understand why someone would pay lots of $$$$ to look like a grey Big Bird...if it was yellow, i might have considered though.

[goldengloves]

I want some of these trousers. I need a hook up for this shit. Dis even b 2 expensiv fer drug sellin wages.

[Liberation1945]

^ that's a nice look...

i like everything here too...

why are people shocked by this dude thom browne? WOOOAAAH SHORT PANTS

[Servo2000]

Love that polo.

[goldengloves]

Haha, I love that polo too.

I'm actually not at all shocked by the short hemlines...although the flower suits and shit is a little over the top but overall, he makes a lot of wearable pieces.

[Servo2000]

How much is that polo thought? Probably like $400 - $500, yeah? 50% (doesn't a lot of his stuff make it to at least this come sale times?) that's the same as a Dior polo full price and it's probably lightyears more impressive as far as quality goes. Not a terrible deal, but still too pricey for me.

[BodiesOfLight]

It's like bullfighting mixed with prep and swimming. Interesting.
