Remember the headline-making gold bullion Thom Browne glamour gown and cape Lizzo wore to the 2022 Met Gala? That took 22,000 hours of needlework to craft? More than one pair of hands was working no doubt, but still—that’s more than 900 days for one look.
For Browne, it all started with the gray suit, of course. He launched his label in 2003 with the intent of reintroducing tailoring to the early 2000s crowd living in jeans and T-shirts.
“Of course, I’m showing it in the way that I see it, but with it being couture, customers will be able to take looks from the collection and personalize them for themselves. It’s also in the showroom with the rest of the collection that’s been selling the last week-and-a-half. Together, it represents the breadth of what we do as regards to the height of couture and what we do commercially that supports the business.
“I start from craft and creativity, and I think Pharrell has an amazing voice….Everybody has to approach it their own way. The choice of Pharrell was great in that he has ideas and a sense of himself. That’s a good place to start,” said Browne who, it should be pointed out, was also not classically trained as a designer, though he did work at Giorgio Armani and Club Monaco before starting his own label.
“I moved to Paris Fashion Week 12 years ago to challenge myself in the center of creativity, then bring it back to America and represent what I think American fashion can be around the world.”
