Thom Browne - Womens - SS14 - New York

[cjbreed]

consistently interesting, creative, well executed, entertaining and with just enough weirdness to be funny but not laughable. i think i look forward to his shows almost more than any other.

i like the element of horror in this one a lot...

Clearly, a panel of men chiming in.

This collection is everything. Except wearable.

I can't even look at this shit.

[cjbreed]

well nobody claimed it was wearable. will most of it even be produced?

i like it for the reasons i mentioned above, not because its something i want to see people actually wearing. although i'd prefer that to seeing grown men wear that little suit of his

edit - on further analysis, there is quite a bit of it that i actually do want to see people wearing.

How very Coppola's Lucy Westenra meets Miss Havisham in a mental asylum of him.

Funny, even though this is mostly white this collection leans more towards 'gothic' than anything I have seen on the runway in a decade or so. One would fit perfectly into the Wave Gothic Meeting in one of these creations.

But apart from that, just as interest1 wrote: utterly unwearable.

Fucking amazing. The only thing I miss about not being in NYC right now.

I got a photographer into the show, Matthew Reeves. Check out his fantastic photography on Diane Pernet's blog.

Yes, if ordered. Everything on the runway is available at the showroom for order.

if pieces are unwearable are they still clothes? if they are unwearable,they are a collection of what?

beautiful,intricate workmanship,nice to look at and I'm sure the show had a great/fun vibe. I'm just not sure what is being shown.

Beautifully constructed and truly amazing clothing.

Paging Daphne Guinness.

This shit doesn't even deserve one of my animated cat gifs.

^^Daphne is an awesome dresser and would look great in this collection and she has the money to buy it! :)

Enjoy, Daphne!

I don't have enough to go around so you'll have to share this one with Daphne.

^That's worth the price of admission.

On a side note, I think Thome Browne Has left the arena.

But, but, what about fashion as theater, the showmanship, the ideas,
the excitement? Surely this is better than another parade of cocktail dresses.

[Blackman]

Fucking amazing. The only thing I miss about not being in NYC right now.

i'm running out of creative ways of bashing tb (and I am sick, so my mind is wavering). however, does anyone else think that going for such an obvious amount of theatrics is actually SAFE? Because you know that none of this will be produced, how can you actually critique the clothes? I know I can't - there is nothing to critique.

My how times have changed around these parts

[Faust]

Yes, indeed.
