He Loves Me, He Loves Me Not

February 14, 2019

Valentine's Day is all about love and decadence. So, who better to celebrate with than Thom Browne? The designer crafts surreal, over-the-top clothes that are the definition of romantic. And if you need something to wear for your big night out, look no further than Thom Browne F/W '19.

The collection, which was presented last month in Paris with killer beauty looks by Isamaya Ffrench, is its own dreamy winter wonderland. Think: white suits, tailored corsets and bubblewrap dresses, paired with glittery eyes and frostbitten skin.

To celebrate V-Day, the brand teamed up with director Bunny Kinney to showcase the magic of the collection on the streets of Paris. Hair stylist Eugene Souleiman and Ffrench recreated their sparkly Saran wrapped looks from the show on a group of models including Elijah Diamond.

As the group pops bubblewrap and parades around Parisian landmarks, Diamond repeats: "He loves me, he loves me not." But when it comes to Thom Browne F/W '19, we have only one answer: he loves me.

Paris Louboutins With David LaChapelle

October 10, 2024

One of the most memorable of presentations in Paris at the end of the fashion season was, unsurprisingly, at the hands of iconic photographer, director, artist and overall creative genius David LaChapelle. Merging his “kitsch pop surrealism” with the SS25 collection by the French footwear house Christian Louboutin, choreography by Blanca Li, live music by LP and a synchronized performance by the French Olympic artistic swimming team — plus some rather mentionable pole dancing by topless “firefighters” — the theatrical display was matched only by a scene of LaChapelle, Louboutin and Li all jumping into the pool and dancing about fully clothed, if not moderately intoxicated. Fashion week, especially in Paris, can feel way too serious and self conscious. This presentation was definitely giving a more friends-and-family vibe: campy, fun and unpretentious.
