Thom Browne: Clothing, Shoes and Accessories | Franz Kraler

Thom Browne is widely recognized for challenging and modernizing a must-have garment: the suit. Questioning traditional proportions, Browne's designs convey a typically American sensibility rooted in quality craftsmanship and precise tailoring. In 2001, Browne started his business in a small shop in New York's West Village, presenting five suits by appointment. In the subsequent years, he expanded his business to include full collections of ready-to-wear and accessories for both men (2003) and women (2011). Browne has also become known for his highly conceptual fashion shows, internationally recognized for their provocative and dramatic themes and settings. Thom Browne is to be considered a true fashion artist: his collections are exhibited in museums around the world.
