Finally, don’t forget we are now open on Sundays with Rose Bakery offering a special menu which includes smoked salmon and scrambled eggs, pancakes with banana and maple syrup, muesli with fresh berries and more.
THOM BROWNE / Womenswear 2012
True to form, Thom Browne put on yet another of his spectacular shows on Monday afternoon. As much a performance as a catwalk show, Browne had rented out a room in the New York Library again and had his models play out a cocktail party from the 1920s. But with all the cheek kissing, loud music and chit chat, it could have been any contemporary fashion party! The girls started out in predominately grey tailoring, but soon Browne changed gear and brought out jackers with head high shoulders, coats with floor long lapels. never-ending sleeves, duck necklaces and tulip tops. As the girls worked the room, talking to each other, we just couldn't stop staring. There was so many details to take in. Not all of them were exaggerated and OTT... Browne also just a great seersucker fabric for shorts, showed a sleeveless camel cashmere coat, added a bit of colour through yellow stripes and check patterns, and a great cropped bomber jacket.
