Thom Browne 2016 Spring/Summer Collection
New York meets Paris via Japan, with added Geisha.
Thom Browne’s spring/summer collection for 2016, presented in Paris this weekend, comes via inspiration from much further afield in Japan. Soundtracked by Yo-Yo Ma playing Ennio Morricone film scores and featuring models wearing Klaus Nomi makeup, round glasses and traditional wooden geta sandals, Browne’s latest output incorporated ornate fabrics adorned with Japanese-inspired motifs. Pinstripe, houndstooth, herringbone and seersucker garments were all present in a showing of performance art that featured four models dressed as geisha.
