From overseeing retail aspects for Giorgio Armani to designing for Club Monaco to creating menswear couture under his own name in 2001, Thom Browne stands out in the fashion crowd. With no formal fashion training (Browne earned a business degree from Notre Dame), the designer is self-taught, but in only five short years after launching his label, Browne won the prestigious Menswear CFDA award. In 2007 Browne launched a women.s line, which, like his menswear, is made-to-order, tailored-to-fit, and decidedly dapper. Most recently, Browne inked a deal to design a capsule collection of men.s, women.s, and accessory designs for Brooks Brothers.
