    Is it true that Thom Browne employees must wear Thom Browne suits 24/7 even when going across the street to grab a coffee? Just curious... :)

      If they work at the store, yes. And when they quit it accounts for large deliveries of TB goodies to INA.

        How very true. An entire rack of the stuff has been there for quite some time.

          The Obama dress looks very much like something from his pre-collections, which are more commercial but really quite lovely. And the fabric choice is clearly Thom. Jason Wu?! c'mon, Faust...unless you are deeply acquainted with his collections and have seen something I haven't.

          I'm really pleased to see him doing so well after all the predictions that he would be just a flash in the pan....

              if i needed to dress in a way and adhere to that profile (and actually fit into the slim cuts), I have no doubt that that prefall lineup would fit the bill. i almost wish i was a litigator just to have a reason to wear it.
              those deep violet's and cool grey's seem to denote a level of stately confidence. along with the warm set tones, i'm finally able to feel a connection to his work. lets see what this evening brings...

                I feel like his tailoring for women is finally catching up to the concepts/imagination. I gotta say I love the knit houndstooth skirt/plaid jacket combo that's show in profile here...I would wear that in a heartbeat, if i could get my hands on it.

                  the pre-fall looks a bit too matronly to me. and i really don't like how the sleeve of the last coat is two inches too short. it is ok for a guy to do the shrunken look, i suppose, but it'd be a little ridiculous on a grown up woman.

                  this is the fall preview



                  i see square shoulder, cinched waist, and full skirt

                    lol...

                    aren't those sleeves just "bracelet length"?

                    I do agree that the cinched waist/full skirt can be awfully matronly, especially if you've got anything going on in the way of a bust. Looks pretty amazing on Drake Burnette though...

                      call me anti-braclet length then

                      well, i have relatively long arms, bracelet length inevitably ends up looking like 3/4 length on me, which is no good especially for a winter coat, more for practical reason than aesthetic.

                      i do like the look you mentioned, and the 2nd grey suit/skirt combo, wish i could see the front.

                        Works well for Paul Harnden. It looks great with gloves.

                          it certainly gives the wearer a more styling choices, the gloves for example as you say, a nice shirt cuff peeking out the way it's done in the look book, and of course, it is a great way to show off a piece of bracelet/watch, etc.

                              Amazing. I would say he found the ethereal.

                                ^ I really love that this is actually being shown in NYFW. It gives me hope that we can move beyond all the sportswear.
