Thom Browne Autumn Winter 2012 2013

Is Thom Browne for real? The New York-based designer famous for his prankster fashion collections took his irony and sarcasm to a completely new level. The Herman Munster inspired show separated the fashionistas in two poles – those who hate the  new collection and those who love it but wouldn’t really wear it.

Women’s Wear Daily said Browne’s “silly show” featured “two breeds of tough guy: the S&M punk and the bulked-up American sportsman” Everything came studded and safety-pinned for the punks, from slim checked suits with studs forming an argyle pattern to preppy, doggy print blazers. Low-slung kilts had tufts of merkin (that’s a pubic wig) peeking out. Colors are from classic dark and grey to sweet mint and strawberry ice cream.
