Pattern People: Pattern Report Inspiration from Thom Browne's Menswear SS 2016

Thom Browne’s Spring’16 Menswear collection tells a tale of Japan. Full of samurais, dragons, cranes, chrysanthemums, Mt. Fuji, and pastoral scenes, the collection was inspired by a country with which Browne has a close relationship. Browne used his manufacturers in Japan to do the work because of their keen eye and craftsmanship. The Japanese silk paintings and woodblock prints posted below date back to the 18th century..and could’ve been backdrop to the runway show!– mollye pooton & bekah hilleson
