Thom Browne - Wha?

Maybe it's all some sort of Jeff Koons-ian high concept prank? And, yes, it's probably good that he's making tighter items (my next solo LP! - Tighter Items! Jimmy!) popular, and has "injected hip into Brooks Brothers" (c and p every writer of the last three years), but gimme a break. Then I read a profile of him and he's all about austerity, doing the David Lynch thing of eating the same meal at the same spot every day (more Pastis than Bob's Big Boy, but still) and smiling wryly at things only he gets. But how long can it last? More importantly, wouldn't Jarvis look stupid in one of these suits?

I can't shake the feeling that he'll suddenly grow bangs and make pants that go about six inches past the end of the foot which will then have to be dragged, flopping, through the slush. Are you ready?

Plus he watched this too many times in his youth:
