Thom sells out?

I am sure by now that many of you have heard that Thom Browne, the boy genius behind the shrunken grey suits, is launching a new line for FW14, if not, read more WWD please. The line, simply called Thom Browne, will include similar items—suits, shirts, coats—but with “slightly less extreme” proportions than what can be seen in the runway collection, Thom Browne New York.  According to Browne, the new line will be for those who already like his design aesthetic but perhaps want more “classic proportion and fit” and who “appreciate classic, well-made clothing.” In other words, longer pants and wider collars. In my words – not Thom Browne. If you can’t wear Thom Browne New York, maybe you shouldn’t be wearing Thom. Skip this watered down version. Love you Thom.

Christian has been a cultural and style junkie since the age of 6; while most kids were swiping cookies, he was swiping his grandfathers' Patek Philippe. Raised to appreciate art, fashion,design and  literature (yeah, this one actually reads) by a single mother fondly called Jackie-O. Christian quickly went from childhood cultural capital thief to academia protégé. Referred to as the cat's meow by some, too clever by half by others, Christian eschewed the academic life and ran away to join the circus -the fashion circus. Several well-appointed positions later and a career on the rise would be most people's dream but it was time to say fuck off and start all over again.

This is Christian Dare Unedited.
