Gorgeous nuttiness from the LORD GOD MASTER of gorgeous nuttiness, Thom Browne proves that the tyranny of the skinny suit that we’ve endured for the last decade is at long last over. In his breathtaking fall/winter collection, he plays with proportions, pairing both over-size silhouettes fit for Quasimodo with teeny-tiny, We Need to Talk About Kevin-size belly-baring t-shirts and cardigans. And it works. Kind of. There’s a little Gareth Pugh in here and a lot of Walter van Beirendonck, but that’s a good thing. From GQ: “Broad-shouldered linebackers in chest-stripe sweaters; spiked metal suiting; gray flannel pencil skirts; masked, helmeted and mohawked models; cropped-top shirting; and a pink and seafoam plaid suit. As usual, it was a dramatic runway show from Thom Browne, but one that revealed wearable looks beneath the grandeur: neat scarves and ties, a tipped navy blazer, nautical sweaters, and dependably smart shoes, in particular, proved that no matter the shape, it’s all about fit.”
