Visit Thom Browne Store



THE Thom Browne store on the corner of Hudson and Franklin in TriBeCa is designed to look like an antiseptic office from the 1950s: the windows are ribbed with old-fashioned blinds, the floor is made of poured terrazzo marble, and there is not a computer or iPod in sight. Actually, aside from the clothing and the smartly attired employees, there isn’t much in the 2,000-square-foot room except for an old desk, a three-way mirror, a couple of midcentury leather chairs and a coffee table with a glass ashtray and one pair of stiff gray gloves on it.
Near to the door was a section of suits and garments in shades of gray, including a thick navy cardigan with white stripes on the sleeve for $3,450, a short-sleeve knit jersey in thick gray and white stripes ($590), two white oxford shirts ($250 each) and a white Sea Island cotton button-down for $520. I stepped back to make sure there wasn’t a sign above it that read: “These clothes are for Prince Harry! Don’t touch!” .
That's clear for whom is his target but it's worth to know the legend menswear designer that u might have, once, own his shirt by lucky draw from W magazines ( which issue? I would do anything! )
