Maybe you can’t tell from my impeccable posture but this dress weighed me down like a cinderblock! I don’t know how much fabric went into sewing this piece of heaven but it can literally stand on its own. The only other times I’ve seen quality, details and craftsmanship like this, is in a vintage dress or a couture piece. Thom Browne’s FW12 women’s collection is more than that: it’s new, ingenious, daring, and proves that imagination and perfection are not dead in New York. I’m smitten like a princess on Redbull.
