Thom Browne reinvented the Geisha, so to speak, for his Spring 2016 menswear collection. Browne presented an impressive and visually stunning body of work. At first glance, the gray wool, sartorially perfect suits appear to be embroidered with traditional and iconic Japanese motifs, think again. No embroidery here. Instead, all motifs were created/constructed with individual pieces of fabric - a painstakingly precise process no doubt. The headgear, which were works of art themselves in their sculptural glory, were by milliner-extraordinaire Stephen Jones who has collaborated with Thom Browne in past collections.
