My name is Thom Browne
Thom Browne is a New York based men’s fashion designer. After graduating Notre Dame, Browne moved to Los Angeles to try his hand at acting. Though he landed a few commercials, he wasn’t terribly successful. He realized his true calling was in fashion, and in 1997 moved to New York. His first job was as a salesman in Giorgio Armani’s showroom; he moved to Club Monaco’s design and merchandising departments before launching his own label in 2001. Browne’s designs are something of a throwback to a pre-business casual era: New York Magazine has described his work as evoking “a fetishized, black-and-white-movie masculinity.” The Council of Fashion Designers of America awarded Browne 2006 Menswear Designer of the Year. Browne designs with a very specific impression in mind: “It’s a very nice, very Continental, very charming world,” he says.
