Thom Browne - Women

Thom Browne got his start in fashion designing for Club Monaco and came into his own in 2001, when he founded his own line and broke all the rules of modern men's tailoring. Browne has gone on to build a loyal following around his signature look, a meticulously tailored, three-button, short suit and it is undoubtedly his witty use of abbreviated proportions that have made him a star. In 2006, Browne was taken on to design Brooks Brothers' more fashion-focused Black Fleece line, and in 2008 he became creative director for Moncler Gamme Bleu. With his own signature line growing each season, it's hard to overstate his influence on the shape of the modern men's suit.
