Thom Browne's Merman

tb_storeshow_04.jpgIn an short but sweet interview with Dazed Digital, Thom discusses the inspiration (mermaids) behind his Spring 2010 collection set in his new retail space. I love huge theatrical shows but I also love smaller intimate viewings. You can really get a sense of the clothes. They sometimes don't feel three dimensional on runways and Thom's latest collection is definitely one you want to get close up to. It may seem unwearable but take the pieces separately and you'll find lots you can wear. I have no fear so I would wear it all.

It's all in the details. From polka dots to large sequins and finally forgiving pants because as much as I love Mr. Browne's aesthetic, high-wasted is not for me. At the end of the show all the models lined up outside and got onto a school bus. How anti-vogue. Love it!
