Thom Browne

Thom Browne is an American fashion designer known for reworking the proportions and conventions of the suit. He began his business in 2001 with five suits and an appointment-only shop in New York's West Village, developing a distinctive approach to tailoring, uniform and formal dress.

His collections expanded into womenswear, accessories and other categories, accompanied by elaborate runway presentations that turn clothing into theatrical narrative. He has received the CFDA's menswear award and the Cooper Hewitt National Design Award. His designs are represented in institutions including the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the V&A, connecting contemporary fashion with the history of dress.
