Thom Browne Fall/Winter 2018-2019 collection

American designer Thom Browne presented his Fall/Winter 2018 collection at Paris Fashion Week Men’sT. Always one for theatrics, Browne transformed the catwalk into a winter wonderland complete with mounds of fake snow and birch trees.

The collection displayed a familiar mix of Browne touchstones such as grey suiting, chunky knitwear and lush wool fabrics, but key pieces include the designer’s broad range of billowing outerwear, which looked as if they were repurposed from quilted duvets, throw blankets and sleeping bags.

This was certainly a collection of luxuriously elevated, tailoring-inflected but sportswear-leaning garments: sportswear that looked stitched. Typically but not exclusively, the fabrication of the outerwear reflected the garments beneath. So a crimson rib-knit, double-breasted coat - canvassed but also padded with piumino - was worn with rib-knit blue pants and a white rib jacket beneath. A down-filled black corduroy parka similarly defined the rest of its look, as did outerwear in Fair Isle, pinstripe, chalk stripe, and check. Sometimes there was a more mixed-up look-say, a white cloak with mink muff worn over shorts and gaiters.
