RUNWAY: Thom Browne FW19

Masculinity and tailoring were explored at Thom Browne's FW19 show today. As the lines blur between menswear and womenswear, more and more designers are trying to figure out how fashion plays into that. Since fashion and most art, tends to reflect or even predict the nearby cultural future, it is no surprise that dangerous designers such as Browne tackles it. There were dress forms that lined the runway, to bring home the idea that these were clothes in flux and still being worked out. What followed was a barrage of tailored garments with all manner of flux: stitched, sewed and glued together to create, oftentimes, confusing clothing - shirts on jackets, pants on shirts, half-coats and the like! For the tamer aspects of the collection, there were form fitting, dress-like layers, fur trimmed gaments and a good amount of accessories to whet the appetite of the bagoholics.
