Here’s a fun bit of runway news for you Thom Browne fans:
Despite the fact that it’s the Spring/ Summer ‘08 collections, Thom’s Thursday show is made of over 70% wool.
His lightweight merino comes from Australia, as does his show money:
This year’s sponsor is Australian Wool Innovation, a group that supports Oz sheep farmers and promotes their products around the world.
Melbourne man Josh Goot is also an AWI partner, but this marks the first time an American designer has paired with the company down under in such an official way.
The move is also good for Thom – more money means more clothes, and more ways to join his herd…
