STYLE
Thom Browne may be recognized for his cropped suits (and the constant use of red, white, and blue), but besides his gentlemanly clothes, he’s known for staging fashion presentations that are anything but traditional. From an Olympic-sized swimming pool in Milan to a formal meal presentation titled “Dinner From Hell,” we look back on some of our favorites while spending 5 minutes with the talented (and tight-lipped) Mr. Browne.
