Thom Browne

[laika]

I really, really like this. It seems a very clear, well-realized presentation of his aesthetic. It's theatrical without the gumball machine silliness of his past runway shows.

Agree, I think this is pretty fantastic. Whatever one may think of his clothes, the presentation here is incredibly well executed. Good for Thom!

perhaps when adidas threatened to sue?

Funny you say that because I was thinking the same thing.

Same shit, different toilet. So boring.

[BECOMING-INTENSE]

^yes, just multiplied/magnified. What horror!

I think it is now established what the Emperor's new clothes look like. It's a shrunken uniform.

Saw the pictures today and I thought it was wonderful although quite ominous, very fascist-like.

The 4 stripes cardy is a natural evolution, just like those 4 blade razors that supposedly cut so much better than the three bladed razors. 5 stripes is next

"This is what my guy does. He gets dressed and looks good, and he’s serious about work.”

Give that guy with the gray suit the Pensky file.

The show and clothes? Lifeless, completely empty, cold. Shrunken and tighter clothes, of course it couldn't be any other way. And all white models too? It's not just boring, it's scary (unless you have a white boy fetish, in which case this show is so hot!)

The world is not ready, let's wait until striping technology catches on to our inovative genius. I propose to skip the 5 stripes and go straight to 6, that'll make 'em quake in envy!

and all with glasses? what nobody had decent vision in the 50's?

and all with glasses?

I don't have a problem with the glasses.

Wait, are you critisizing TB for using an all white cast? What about the, what, 90% of designers who do so? Are they exempt from your comments?

Fashion is as caucasianormative as western culture is heteronormative, don't hate TB for it, he's not responsible.

The all white thing is creepy indeed, but it makes sense in the theatrical (and architectural) context, no? And i agree that it's scary, but it's supposed to be!

To be fair it seems he did mix some fascistic references with his usual 50s thing. Or rather he made them more obvious. In fact the whole thing sorta remind me of a short I'll try to find again (got it on a dvd) where people are working in groups inside, filling something or other and you hear the sound of gunshots outside. In the end I believe you end up seeing Wehrmacht soliders taking a break.
