For the last 20 years, Thom Browne’s namesake label has existed synonymously with its signature suiting: precisely-tailored pieces that fall shorter at the top and fit slimmer toward the bottom. For Pre-Fall 2024, Browne builds on his fundamental concept, introducing silhouettes and textiles that ever-so-slightly stray from his expected formalwear to enter new domains in the designer’s universe \u2014 something he’s been doing since his debut couture show in Paris this summer.<\/p>\n
In his experimentations, Browne shapes a number of jackets with smoother shoulders and tighter-fitting shapes that snugly caress the body when fully buttoned. In addition to his classic patterns, expressive colors become central to the Pre-Fall 2024 range. New graphic motifs land on coats, blazers and trousers: most notably, an abundance of vivid roses sprout in unexpected places, and birds flock all over trenches en masse.<\/p>\n
Still, Browne’s signatures play a large factor in the line’s identity. Particularly, his grey suiting, his high-cut pants and his four-striped mark remain a constant across the range. The designer’s Hector Bag makes some new friends, including a new basket-like case that’s modeled after Browne and his partner Andrew Bolton’s 19th century house in the upper Hudson Valley, Teviotdale. Closing off the line, a plethora of quieter leather bags offer an opulent finish to Browne’s classics with gold hardware.<\/p>\n
