RUNWAY: Thom Brown FW17

Buying a bespoke suit is akin to purchasing a couture gown. There was numerous fittings and measurements to be taken. For FW17, Thom Browne offers a cynical view of the bespoke suit experience by showing a series of ill-fitting suits with bad proportions and fit. Though for the man who has to laboriously get fitted at multiple intervals and get fitted (and re-fitted) for their suit, the majority of the world likely will play the world's tiniest violin for his struggle. That's what Browne, in essence, did here and the myriad iterations of his classic gray suits was the foundation of this collection.
