Luxury fashion designer Thom Browne unveils the latest sportswear and compression collection that brings its focus towards the athletic industry. The capsule took over 18 months to create, stemming from Browne's devotion to running and physical health.
The result of this is a collection made up of a selection of shell jackets, running shorts, compression tights, tees, track pants, and more. The color palette of the range remains relatively minimal, staying true to the designer's aesthetics. There are hues of either charcoal or navy blue to keep the styles muted for the season. In addition to this, the brand also launched three new pieces. This includes the Football parka, inspired by Browne's oversized parkas growing up, the Heritage trainer, and a pair of sunglasses.
