Lengthy article about Thom Brown's history - some nice (but limited) discussion of men's skirts. Honestly, though, I find the women's suit from the 2013 collection to be more interesting than the other styles presented.

Yup, me too.
From the single picture which looked OK apart from the weird hanging shirt tails, I could step out in that.
If I had the bucks, which I don't.
However, by this time next week, my very own version of The Suit or Skruit will finally have been unveiled.
Designers, we don't need no fancy designers!

I could be corrected but I cannot recall such a scarcity of new posts being dropped at the cafe`.

Thanks Partlyscot, I have read the article now.
I find it puzzling that they use "subversive" to describe Thom Browne's work, a bit of hype I think.
The guy is a fashion designer and at the high end too, he should be original, edgy call it whatever?
I did a quick check of price and around £3,000 UKS is indicated.
At that price, the client's worst nightmare is meeting a duplicate but hardly life threatening or even changing for that matter.
I will draw your attention to the "Skruit" if you haven't already seen it in Pics and Looks.
That came in at around £300.00 UKS and all comments welcome.
Steve.
