Thom Browne, Pitti Uomo 2009
Our blog may not have been updated for awhile, but that doesn’t mean that Thom Browne’s showcasing at Pitti Uomo this year went unnoticed. Every season, the Pitti Immagine group holds a men’s-wear fair in Florence. They invite upwards of 30,000 people, including buyers, journalists and about 800 designers from all over the globe. Each season, they also select one designer to put on a show or exhibition of some kind.
And, it’s always a very interesting profile to watch — last year’s guest being Adam Kimmel, who’s Semina-inspired collection last fall is still the subject of magazine features (the most recent was in this month’s issue of Another Man). He even became a point of interest on our site.
Thom Browne is already a widely-revered Renaissance man in innovating men’s tailoring in lines and proportions, with no formal training. However, for his first European showing, he didn’t want to do a fashion show, choosing to stage “an introduction to what my sensibility is”.
The result was an International Style aesthetic, with a geek-chic, assembly line-up that evoked a scene from Jacques Tati’s Playtime, though the clothing in this case was far from banal. To see more of the show, click here.
