Given that I’m a student (I know, I state this fact irksomely frequently…) and the world’s being in the throws of economic flaccidity, perhaps weekly posts on suits isn’t the most welcome concept in terms of practicality. But – and beware the cliché here – surely this is a time to provide escapism and a touch of sartorial fantasy to repress any anxiety-inducing thoughts/feelings. Move over debts, and welcome the deets.
Abominable – Thom Browne FW 09
Speaking of escapism, who better to fashion fantasy from cloth than one Thom Browne. In this instance, however, his so-called “eye-rollers”, the zany showpieces, were not so much freakish as just downright silly. This snowflake-and-bunny-patterned Fair Isle shorts suit is most likely not going to motivate you to do anything apart from, perhaps, regress to the emotional age of 5.
Applaudable – 3.1 Phillip Lim FW 09
Much more to be desired is this double-breasted confection (courtesy of Phillip Lim) with its jagged, deep black detailing in the lapels and buttons and that so saliva-inducing cocoa hue. If you do happen to have any spare change these days, you know where to put it.
More suits next week!
