KEEPING to his roots, Thom Browne excelled in serving us another highly tailored collection. Experimenting with plush textures, Browne introduced furs and cable knits to revitalise the classic suit. Quilted blazers and shorts allowed a sportswear influence to dominate the runway.
A carpet of snow and tri-colours of blue, white and red reminded us of the French Alps but is conflicted with the suburban New York backdrop. Blush pink cheeks and braids falling out of knit stocking caps lent itself to the festive environment. Base colours of greys and camel allow practicality, diverting attention to the impressive textures and timeless construction.
Structured capes and full-length skirts touched on the gender-neutral trend popular with multiple designers this season. A unique Dachshund lace and fur print that would make even Cruella Deville jealous brings an air of light-heartedness. Candy stripes and checks assisted accessories with injecting a traditional element to the collections. Whilst puffed, oversized leg-warmers in technical fabrics and oversized scarfs added a welcomed edge to the collection.
