Staged at the Opéra Garnier during Paris Couture Week, Browne’s Autumn-Winter 2023/24 Haute Couture collection combined monochromatic tones of blacks, whites and greys with theatrical, melancholic elements to include model Alek Wek sat on a stack of grey suitcases in front of the camera pit and theatre expert Jordan Roth flapping his arms and pretending to be a pigeon in a tufted jacket.
But, as ever, it was the inclusion of Vex Latex which drew our attention to the Thom Browne collection. Laura Petrielli-Pulice, the one-woman designer behind the over 20 year old latex brand, crafted an array of pieces with precise accents that are the famous details synonymous with the Thom Browne label. The custom latex accessories and garments included catsuits, bodysuits, a mix of gloves, socks, stockings, and skull caps. Each latex piece was hand-crafted and made by Petrielli-Pulice in her Long Beach, CA studio.
