The Tom Ford/Thom Browne divide has been deepening for some time, but it seems like DNR wants to turn it into a full-fledged national conflict.
Mr. Ford’s British tendencies have been well-documented (think Get Carter not Pete Doherty), and apparently his fall collection is full of the large checks and cutaway collars that more fashionable Britons have been donning for some time.
On the other side of the aisle, Mr. Browne is chasing the preppy look with soft plaids, small collars and oxford cloth. It may not be macho, but it’s a decidedly American look, and a real contrast to the dandy-ish Mr. Ford.
In other words, it’s only a matter of time before the two settle this with a walk-off.
