Thom Browne began his business in 2001, famously launching his own clothing label out of his Upper East Side apartment. Starting with five suits, the innovative American designer redefined menswear with his signature shrunken suits, a reactionary impulse against the ubiquity of casualwear. Celebrated for his conservative, yet cool aesthetic, Thom Browne quietly revolutionised traditional tailoring and his work has achieved international acclaim, winning the CFDA Menswear Designer of the Year Award in 2006, 2013 and 2016.
