Thom Browne
Something about this designer that gets to me. Maybe its the quality of his clothing. The details. His take on true classic Americana Menswear or maybe its because he makes clothes one size smaller ideal for men that are 5'4 - 5'9. Thom Browne is known for transforming the ordinary suit into something more modern, slim, cut short, and unexpectedly sharp, with that his clothes are recognized by the American tri colour grosgrain detail he puts on his clothes. Even this New York based brand is making its way to the Asian pacific getting much recognition for his menswear. I can't blame the popularity in the east his clothes just fit and the style & quality is remarkable. Also did you know Thom Browne once worked for the creative end at Club Monaco, a brand owned by the Ralph Lauren group before he started doing his own thing. So without his influence in Club Monaco, the brand would probably not be as popular as it is now. Just take a look and see. You probably noticed the inspiration of classic staples in Club Monaco's clothing with the basic oxford shirts, plaids, flannels, suits cut slim with classic details and clothes tailored down to fit better than it was before in the 90's, transforming the brand to its casual New York American style it is known for today. Thom Browne is definitely one of my favourite designers out there, making such a huge impact in menswear from working with the Ralph Lauren group to designing Brooks Brothers new label 'Black Fleece' and launching his own brand. He stays true to his classic American roots, which shows how greatly appreciated he is as an American designer.
