Thom Browne on Masculinity in Fashion
Timeless fashion, Browne says, is masculine.
Question: Can men be both masculine and fashionable?
Thom Browne: I would hope that they are masculine in being fashionable. I mean for me the worst thing is actually seeing some guy that looks like he's wearing fashion. And fashion for me is something is . . . that is vey timelessly designed; something that is . . . that is very masculine. So I think it should really go hand-in-hand. I think if a guy is looking fashionable and not masculine, then I think he should maybe go home and change.
