Thom Browne Longwing Brogue
I could say the fashion impresario but isn't he really much more than fashion. Thom Browne is an expert tailor, a showman, versed in the knowledge of the couturier and a skilled entrepreneur. Also, having just recently sold a majority stake in his company to the Zegan Group for half a billion dollars, he's also quite a shrewd dealmaker. Here is an example of why he has a cult status in the design world and among his core consumers. This Longwing Brogue is expertly rendered in a sweet black pebble leather with the patented twill heel pull detailing. This update features a unique serrated rubber sole complete with the red, white and blue color-branding to make this a nice take on classic and modern together with casual and dressy.

Thom Browne Tri-Color Grosgrain Basketweave Sneakers
Looks can be deceiving. Such is the case with these Tri-Color Grosgrain Basketweave Sneakers from Thom Browne. At first the upper looks like a red, white and blue grosgrain pattern printed onto leather. However upon closer inspection, once I held these in my hands, I discovered that the entire upper is constructed of interlocked grosgrain ribbons secured by the lace grommets, heel stay, ankle piping and sole of the shoe. Then to sweeten the deal he went and added wingtip tooling and lined them in leather to make these a special Spring pleaser for those wanting to treat themselves. Available now at
