Thom Browne denounced the construct of gender with his first co-ed fashion show The FW20 show inspired by Noah's Ark gave proposals for menswear and womenswear from the same exact perspectives
Yesterday afternoon, designer Thom Browne presented his FW20 collection in Paris under the theme of Noah’s Ark.
The opening looks from the collection were models dressed in the brand’s signature seersucker fabric, all wearing skirts, blazers and the cotton heads of different animals — a giraffe, an elephant, a pig or a horse, all of whom showed no distinct signs of gender in their dress but were simply a generic mixture of both male and female. Not long after, in reference to the pairs of animals in the Biblical tale, Browne sent thirty-three couples down the runway who wore the identical looks. It included a mixture of capes, trousers, pleated skirts, draped skirts, oxford shirts and neckties inspired by old prep school silhouettes.
