Fall Winter 2025 seamlessly blends whimsical details with timeless craftsmanship. From suede elbow patches to contrast collars, the elements of traditional tailoring are reimagined in vibrant ways, while Swarovski crystals and silk ribbons sparkle throughout. Amongst the standout pieces were the trompe l'oeil dress, created with 3,500 black, silver, and clear crystals, evoking the signature Thom Browne uniform in a breathtakingly intricate and dynamic way.
Adding an element of surrealism are the birds imagined throughout the collection, meticulously embroidered onto coats, pockets, and dresses. The movement in the designs are nothing short of captivating; side-swept silhouettes, pleated skirts, and stand-collar dresses made of silk duchess satin all mimic the graceful flight of a bird in motion.
Browne’s love for detail extends to his accessories and footwear, which are equally as refined. The iconic Mr. and Mrs. Thom luggage bags, along with pumps, tuxedo slippers, and longwings, have all been reimagined in brogued suede with a two-tone colorway. The storytelling continues into the hair and make-up as we see beak-like markings on lips, feathers extending from models’ eyes and long pastel nails, not unlike the talons of a bird.
Thom Browne’s legacy of blending conceptual storytelling with impeccable tailoring is again proven in this extraordinary presentation. As we step into this otherworldly landscape, we are reminded of Browne’s ability to constantly challenge the conventions of fashion. Each garment, each accessory, each makeup look serves as an invitation to embrace creativity.
