170TH ANNIVERSARY EXCLUSIVE:
THOM BROWNE
In a world first, Thom Browne selected and reworked 17 unisex pieces from his personal archive to celebrate our 170th anniversary with us. Unmissable.
Working exclusively with Lane Crawford, Thom has selected and reworked 17 suits from his personal archive – pieces he has worn himself, some dating back to when he started his brand 15 years ago; all handmade in his Long Island, New York tailoring facility. He has taken classic grey suits made from the highest quality English suiting fabrics, of both summer and winter weights, all customised with authentic patches representing 20th century American teams’ sports, and his own trademark grosgrain ribbons. Every suit has been hand-distressed, showing Thom’s love for well loved, worn-in, and storied clothig. Every single piece of the collection is unique and unisex.
“I’ve had a relationship with Lane Crawford for almost 15 years. It’s important to me to have a retailer that supports the creativity of pure design and really conceptual ideas – that’s something really and something Lane Crawford has always encouraged,” Thom said.
“The idea was to take my classic grey suit idea and interpret it into a special collection of 17 suits for the 170-year celebration,” Thom said. “I think the most interesting thing about the capsule is that you see clothing I wore 15 years ago - old pieces that are beautifully made and, in a way, look even better 15 years later than when they were new.”
