Fall 12 | Thom Browne

Traditional prints like plaids, scotty dogs and stripes collide with a little shop of horrors at Thom Brown. From Tim Blanks of Style.com  “Browne described a scenario where Punks face off against Jocks. It was almost high school in its commonplaceness. But what did he do with the inspiration? OK, here goes: Road Warrior, Rocky Horror, Blade Runner, The Longest Yard, Despicable Me, The Incredibles. Oh, and a jacket and skirt that, had they been paired with pearls, would have dragged The Iron Lady onto the men’s catwalks of Paris.”    I love how plaid is laid out in spikes and anchors and scotty dogs adorn S & M masks.  Fall 12 seems to be full of twists on traditional prints.
