Thom Browne’s (b. 1965) Fall-Winter 2013-14 collection was inspired by the Amish community in rural Pennsylvania where he grew up. Amish references in this ensemble include a low-fitting hat, somber color palette, quilting, and star motifs (traditionally used to decorate barns). The fashion show even took place within a mock barn raising—models used hammers and nails to construct a wooden structure on the runway while others walked through it. Browne melds this Americana with his now ubiquitous menswear look: classic tailoring, head-to-toe accessories, and proportion play.
