Thom Browne

QUICK! IS THIS A MAN OR A WOMAN?

If you saw the Thom Browne fashion show in Paris, it might take you awhile to answer. The male and female models wore the same styles -with skirts galore- with most in platform heels. Female models often had lopsided wigs and makeup that made their faces look distorted by a stroke. What we DIDN’T see was anything tight, low cut or sexy – which was rather refreshing. One thing for certain – the actual clothing in Thom Browne stores looks a lot more wearable than the clothing in the show…

Anna Wintour Cardi B Diane Keaton Paris Fashion Week Thom Browne

HERE’S A THREESOME: DIANE KEATON, CARDI B, AND ANNA WINTOUR!

We would LOVE to eavesdrop on the conversation between these three people thrown together in the front row at the Thom Browne Couture show at Paris Fashion Week. Diane Keaton and Cardi B are dressed head to toe BY Thom Browne for the big event, but it looks like Vogue editor Anna Wintour is not. We’re guessing Thom Browne had to custom make Cardi’s suit because his designs do NOT have room for bottoms her size. Looks like Cardi is chatting and being her frivolous self and Diane appears to be quite amused, but Anna looks like she’d rather be somewhere else…

Fashion Janelle Monae Met Gala Thom Browne

WHAT GOT INTO JANELLE MONAE?

Fashion icon Janelle Monae is one of our favorites and an elegant eyeful at every event she attends. Thom Browne LOVES her courageous choices and designs extreme things for her that most people would hesitate to wear. (note the boots) Janelle wore a fabulous outfit to the Met Gala and changed into this skimpier ensemble for the after-parties. Looks like the usually composed actress is REALLY cutting loose on the street outside as she entered Standard party. We wonder what went on INSIDE…

Pauline Chalamet Sex Lives of College Girls Thom Browne Timothee Chalamet

NOTE THE RESEMBLANCE: TIMOTHEE CHALAMET AND HIS SISTER PAULINE

Apparently Pauline Chalamet has the same fashion connections as her younger brother, heartthrob Timothee Chalamet, because she’s dressed head to toe in Thom Browne, one of HIS favorite designers. Timothee’s lookalike sister (she’s four years older) is currently starring in the HBO Max show Sex Lives of College Girls. Surprisingly, is was SHE who started acting before Timothee did – with a role on One Life to Live and several independent films. She’s been living in Paris for seven years and only commutes for acting jobs.

Fun. Janelle Monae Johnny Depp Knives Out Thom Browne

JANELLE MONAE JUST WANTS TO HAVE FUN

Designer Thom Browne hooked up fashion-wise with Janelle Monae for the London film Festival, and it’s a match made in heaven. At barely five feet tall, Janelle is a challenge to dress, but she more than makes up for it with enthusiasm for menswear. And NOBODY rocks a hat with more pizazz. She’s played a lot of serious roles on film and would love to have more fun- like Johnny Depp. Janelle says she does NOT admire Johnny as a person, but she does envy his career. She too, would like to play characters like Willy Wonka or Jack Sparrow the pirate – “characters that people would like to dress up as on Halloween.” In the meantime, watch for this fashionista in Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery opening Nov 23.

Color Doja Cat Thom Browne

DOJA CAT WILL DO ALMOST ANYTHING FOR THOM BROWNE

If you’re getting tired of looking at black clothing (favored by the Kardashians) you might like this: Devoted fan Doja Cat finagled Thom Browne into forsaking his favorite color grey, and making a festive gown for her to wear to his Paris show. The dress did feature his special stripe, but it was so long that she kept tripping over it and needed two security men to help maintain her balance and navigate the stairs in those mile-high platforms. That’s a drawback limited to male designers – they don’t wear their own designs and don’t realize how uncomfortable or awkward they can be. Thom added a whimsical necktie tied backward around her neck (hopefully no one grabbed it from the rear!) and painted his signature stripe on her chin…

Hair! Janet Jackson Paris Fashion Week Shoes! Thom Browne

JANET JACKSON IS ENJOYING HER NEWFOUND HEIGHT

Designer Thom Browne (who happens to be one of our unaffordable favorites) is famous for putting men in skirts and women in preppie neckties and he’s attracted all kinds of celebrities – including Janet Jackson. She wore Thom Browne to the Billboard awards and decorated the front row at his Paris show in an immaculately tailored layered outfit with one short sleeve and one long. Note the outrageously high platform heels – 7 or 8 inches- and the oversize “handbag” as big as a suitcase. The only drawback to Janet’s look is the piled high hair- makes her look like a stern matron in a 1960’s orphanage…

Billboard Awards Fashion Janet Jackson Thom Browne

JANET JACKSON IS NOT ABOUT TO SHOW SKIN

One more highlight from the Billboard awards- Janet Jackson. She’s been doing a VERY covered up look lately (the opposite of Doja Cat) and she found the right designer to dress her. Thom Browne loves to dress women to look like men, and men to look like women – in a totally elegant way. This custom outfit suits Janet because she is wearing her favorite color and she’s covered very nicely from head to toe. In fact, she put a lot of those underdressed girls to shame…

K-Pop Kelly Clarkson Thom Browne

K-POP BAND SEVENTEEN: DRESSED LIKE HIP BUSINESSMEN

Hard times for K-pop boy band Seventeen. They hoped to make a splash on their first trip to the USA, but the pandemic barred them from live performances. Luckily they landed a spot on The Kelly Clarkson Show to show their talent. Ironically the band has only 13 members- they are divided into three “units”: the hip hop unit, the vocal unit, and the performance unit. They are said to be more involved in the actual songwriting and choreography than other boy bands – most are in their early 20’s. Thom Browne decked them out expensively for the Clarkson show – some of the clothes look a little too serious for this group, but they are cute…

THOM BROWNE DOESN’T TAKE HIMSELF TOO SERIOUSLY

It’s a holiday and that means time for some fashion fun. We’ve been hooked on Thom Browne ever since he collaborated with Brooks Brothers and livened up the store beyond belief (It hasn’t been the same since he left.) We can’t take our eyes off this delightful fashion photo of a really tough looking model with tribal tattoos and piercings, wearing a pleated skirt and a Christmas sweater! A brilliant and humorous combination…
