Thom Browne did it again last night: he managed to transform some of the world's most beautiful people into — I don't even know what? The weird thing is, when he just calms down, he can make the opposite happen. Thom, you are a sorcerer! Which outfit is your favorite? I'm leaning toward business-savvy football-ready Lurch over here. But seriously, more like this please.

ooh ooh I like the man in the suspendered kilt with spiky helmet thing! i can really see that being the next thing in business casual
@redheadedandcrazy although i don't understand why there appear to be tufts of cotton peeking out the tops of these dude's trousers? i guess i'll just never fit in the high fashion crowd
@redheadedandcrazy: THEY ARE MINK MERKINS! I shit you not - it says so in the review! MINK MERKINS! God, I hope this is really on trend for fall...
@ejcsanfran Wow. I am speechless.
@redheadedandcrazy A mink... merkin... ?
I don't want to live on this planet anymore.
@OhShesArtsy Can I have your mink merkin then? We're all getting them right?
@tortietabbie You can totes have it. But what will you do with two merkins? Will one be your Sunday, goin' out merkin and the other you every day merkin?
@OhShesArtsy you must be new, because everybody knows you have to colour coordinate your merkin with your outfit, therefore requiring several.
@redheadedandcrazy Oh! I didn't get that memo. It's a good thing I'm moving to a different planet, then. I would bankrupt myself buying merkins for every outfit. I assume there is no merkin mandate on Mars?
@OhShesArtsy but the Mars Merkin Mandate has SUCH a good ring to it!
@redheadedandcrazy It really does. I suppose the Mars Merkin Mandate can be "no merkins on Mars" just to not let that phrase go to waste?
@OhShesArtsy And of course I'll need a low-key laundry day merkin. Hmm. Anyone else not want theirs? I need a bunch.
Martian Mandate: Mink Merkins, Mere Memory for Most, Made Misdemeanor.
(These are the times that I worry about the possiblity of a key logger on my computer here at work. I have typed "merkin" more than could possibly be excusable for an "administrative assistant".)
@ejcsanfran I missed this! A mink merkin is even better than it being Santa's pubes!! Although is it still called a merkin if it's a guy? I want to call it a gerkin!
@Megan Patterson@facebook: I think the white ones are made from ermine, so "mermines."
@redheadedandcrazy Mars Merkin Mandate: BEST BAND NAME EVER :-D
Misunderstood this to be about Thom Yorke. Confusion.
@Decca ME TOO
Am I the only one who thought of Gossamer?
I genuinely would wear the jacket in number 5.
Horrified.
#24: "Hi, I'm here for the job interview?"
@ejcsanfran HIRED!
Oh dear, all I can think about is Jaws from 'The Spy Who Loved Me' and 'Moonraker', and Lurch from The Addams Family.
I can't stop thinking, "Mortal Kombat Goes Kouture" for the picture attached to article. Regardless of whatever it reminds me of, it is all horrific and not okay.
I like the pink blazer/green man skirt/green rugby helmet combo. And the giant blazer with what appears to be a duckie motif.
There's a nice selection of formal wear w/leather masks/knee boots; this is good news for any BDSM or leather enthusiasts who also require high couture for a wedding.
It reminds me a bit of The Tribe, an amazing/terrible Australian tv show about kids wearing weird clothes and painting their faces after all the adults have died. Something like that.
Ce que j'ai fait ce soir-là
Ce qu'elle a dit ce soir-là
@Bus Driver Stu Benedict you psycho killer, you...
I like the one where it looks like he's got Santa Claus' pubes sticking out.
That is ... impressively bizarre. How are all the models managing to keep such straight faces? (Well, can't really speak for the ones in the bondage masks, of course.) I just know I'd burst out laughing if presented with something like these and probably never work again.
What's not to get? He has gone back in time to dress the cast of a mutant-vampire-dystopian-future film from 2003. In said film, the football-player-with-pads-on physique is de rigueur and both genders have embraced the timelessness of the pencil skirt. Obvs.
I don't really know anything about fashion but I've been thinking this was pretty cool for the past few days. Unfortunately every commentary I've seen has been gleefully shitting on it, but such is life. I just like the pastel pink/green thing he's doing.
I don't think this is really any more or less bizarre than what other designers do in their shows, is it?
I saw Thom jogging in the West Village the other day on a freezing cold morning wearing a giant puffy coat, a hat, gloves, sneakers...and tiny tiny tailored short shorts. It was so apropos, I LOL'd. He really wears his own clothes, you guys! I know Thom Browne's legs so well after living here for a while that I feel like we used to date.
