ABOUT THE BOOK

Marking the 20th anniversary of the company’s founding, this comprehensive monograph is the first book on Thom Browne. Specially commissioned photography by Johnny Dufort features more than 200 looks from past seasons. An introduction by Andrew Bolton, Wendy Yu curator in charge of The Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute and creative director of this title, sets the work in context. The book concludes with a tableau of show installations that further illustrate the house’s design philosophy and evolution. Published as a hardback enclosed in a clamshell box, the book includes 4-, 6-, and 8-pages gatefolds and more than 40 translucent vellum pages featuring the brand’s signature four stripes. It also includes a Thom Browne grosgrain ribbon. Pre-order at www.phaidon.com/thombrowne. Signed copies while supplies last.
