Thom Browne Resort 2015

[marcBarna]

By his own admission, Thom Browne is not known for color. “People think I only do gray and navy, so I’m throwing it in everybody’s face,” said Browne, who knew he wanted his color in the form of florals, but not in a classically pretty way — too boring. The many prints, embroideries and 3-D grosgrain appliqués that brought a wonderfully cartoonish, semipsychedelic bloom to his resort collection were born from the most banal bouquet out there: gerbera daisies by the bunch at the corner deli. It was wearably directional and quite charming.

Silhouettes came from Browne’s men’s tailoring: tailcoats, sport coats and Chesterfields feminized with skirts cut below the knee, some in fringed panels, or short, flared and styled over slim pants. He twisted the traditional, layering looks with corsets in men’s shirting fabrics, and updating the twinset and granny tweeds. A top and matching skirt were embroidered with anatomically placed flowers — one for each bosom and one…for down there.

Well it's wearable!!!! it's always a pleasure when u get actually to wear Thome Browne's clothes. This collection is overall quite decent to me.

i wonder if the blooms are inspired (at least in part) by TTH (taylor tomasi hill)? she has been a sort of muse for him, after all.

...
very funny...
if you're a 12 yr old boy...
*sigh*...

even with that piece of sh*t, it's still one of his best women's collections...
though it isn't really special or anything...
just jackets and skirts...
so what...

maybe he had to add that in order to make it 'outrageous'...
but it isn't...
it's just kind of *yawn*...

^that's what i can't understand about thom or really the hype around him....as if it's totally groundbreaking work but like you said i don't find much he does that special....generally....especially so if you take away all the props and styling tricks.
