The Kafkaesque Couture of Thom Browne

This is not the usual Thom Browne New York show - this gorgeous bid for Paris Fashion Week couture is Thom Browne at his absolute finest. This premiere couture collection has gotten brand fanatics very excited - beautiful tweeds, seersucker, tortoise shell and pigeons. Other than American fashion staple Ralph Lauren, Thom Browne is bringing the most emblematic parts of tailoring and American New England prep to Paris and the world. His work is heavily inspired by Jacques Tati’s Playtime (1967), one of the best movies of all time. He takes that surrealist landscape, and incorporates gargoyles, Paris, New York and a bridal look, too. We’ll see which looks from this collection end up at the MET Gala.

I really hate how sime designers don't elaborate on their peices cause they think the audience might get bored like personally I'd really want them to share their vision

I'm obsessed with Thom Browne ❤. This was a great show, and I live 4your commentary here 💯

i love how Bliss' videos feel like college lectures--he gets super into what he's talking about and if the vids are scripted, you really can't tell. sometimes fashion YT can feel a bit trend-grabby (ie "rating celeb outfits" or "red carpet looks I hate") which I get bc it brings in non-fashion head views in too, but ty Bliss for keeping it real for those of us who want to become more knowledgable :)

[nicknorthcutt]

That was one of the coolest runway shows I've seen! I'm just now appreciating fashion after finding your channel at the age of 30, thank you for your work.

I look at shows like these and wonder if I could ever be that creative? Its not a sad feeling. It inspires me to do more and to get in touch with my own creativity. Very inspiring. Thanks for posting.

Guys his patreon is so good, I’m a member for some time now and no joke, if you like fashion you will love the discord, you can just hang out, learn and talk so much. Really worth the money

Never saw anything by Browne before. Thanks for bringing it to us with all your humour and enthusiasm! The gargoyle is so beautiful and intricate.

The way I DASHED to this video!! have been waiting for the Thom Browne video!! I absolutely adore his work, one of the first fashion designers whose visions I really fell in love with!

Not sure how I've completely ignored fashion my whole life, aside from what I personally wear. I had no idea the level of artistic expression involved. As well as the production as a whole of a runway show. It's mind-blowing, everything from the lighting, location, down to the stitching in the garments. I wanted to throw some coin your way to say thank you for filtering and presenting the best of the complicated world of fashion. So a guy like me (construction working blue collar pack a lunchbox guy) can get somewhat of an understanding of what I am looking at. I so dearly miss the punk shows I would attend when I was younger and it seems fashion, especially ERD, still has that march to the beat of their own drum mindset while also paying homage to the basics of the craft (patterns, stitching, material choice and quality)
Anyways, I shall now remove my lips from your bum, and just say thank you for what your doin. Keep it up you're doing a great job

This was such a riveting analysis. Seriously, when you get all hype talking about it and you're looking right into the camera, it almost feels like *I'm* part of the conversation (although I know nowhere near enough about Thom Browne to contribute!) and the minutes flow by so seamlessly. I've slowly been meandering my way through your old videos most days after work since it gives me something to look forward to. As always, thank you for your content.

You received a 'like' for "it makes the hall of mirrors look like a public restroom..."

[goblinwizard]

Because of my generation, i can’t shake the Dumb Donald vibes from the cloche hats.

I LOVE that you talked about Playtime.
I find the influences that flow back and forth between cinema and fashion, and people’s individual styles, fascinating.

I think Viktor & Rolf is one other Brand that can do wacky things and yet be taken seriously as well.

[brittlebricks]

YouTube randomly suggested the Thom Browne show to me and i watched it, transfixed. NOW I get your interpretation of the show and of his designs as a whole! LOVE IT 🎉

[lynylyn]

So glad you weren’t fussing about the length of time this presentation filled. Lots of chat about that and not enough about the exquisite detail. I loved this show.

[trilobyte]

Never been on a bliss video this early, now I get to go to Heaven

[karstenbonnaire]

Play time is the poster child movie of the Situationalists movement. A movement that is probably more relevant now than back then. It’s a movement often referenced in fashion. Malcom McLaren was part of it.

So glad we finally have a thom Browne analysis! Excited to watch.
