DISCIPLINE An orderly or regular pattern of behavior:
Thom Browne's designs are rooted in the inventive adaptation of classic forms. Throughout the years, he has proposed a universal modern uniform of reinterpreted mid-twentieth-century men's suits, which are composed of traditional materials in varied shades of gray, navy, and black. In Browne's conception, however, the uniform is not limiting. Instead, its varied permutations allow a sense of individuality to be conveyed through subtle but distinctive details, such as cut and construction, fabric selection, shifted proportions, and the intermingling of conventionally masculine and feminine codes of dress.
