Thom Browne

High Rise Backstrap Trouser

Thom Browne began his career designing men's bespoke clothing and expanded his line into a full ready-to-wear collection in 2004. Browne's style, rooted in a truly American sensibility and inspired by icons of the late 1950s and early 1960s, updates classic silhouettes with unexpected proportions. In 2011 he launched a women's ready-to-wear collection, and in 2012 a unisex eyewear collection. Thom was the recipient of the 2012 Smithsonian Cooper Hewitt National Design Award in Fashion Design.
