Our man Bruce Pask, who’s taking in the Pitti Uomo men’s-wear fair in Florence, Italy, recently filed an update on The Fashion Telex, our live feed from the shows.
Very ‘Mad Men’ — minus the sexy secretaries. A steno pool in accurate period dress, a highly choreographed group of men in Browne’s signature short, skinny suits.”
Suzy Menkes, meanwhile, put it this way: “Everything was so pin-sharp — the taut tailored suits, the metallic clatter of typewriters and the modernist Mussolini architecture — that Thom Browne’s Florentine excursion was a pure and powerful distillation of his message.” Read more Menkes here and check out her slide show.
