Black Fleece SS09

[poodlerock]

Anyone heard/seen anything on the SS09 Black Fleece collection?

My guess is that it's still much too early. Last spring the collection arrived late, in May iirc; but the fall collection arrived in August as would be expected.

Will the designer still be Thom Browne? I've seen some Junya Watanabe Black Fleece stuff, too, but in-store only, not on the website.

^Didn't they re-sign Browne to a multi-year deal this past fall?

 

[robin]

Yeah, he's signed on for several more years. I wish they brought in some other designers though.

I haven't seen the Junya stuff--what is there?

really ugly, expensive shirts. an entire rack of them at the woodbury commons BB outlet

^ Heh. They're throwbacks to the "fun" shirts that have different panels of fabric. From my understanding there will be more than just shirts from Watanabe for BB in the future, like this jacket which I kind of like:

It would be better in softer blue shades.

Haha, that's where I saw them to. I would've gotten one if they weren't so damned expensive.

Do you guys ever run into any Thom Browne BF at outlets? I'm in Minnesota, and there's no BF in the few BB stores we have here and no BB outlet . . .

Wish they would have kept the Brooks Bros. outlet in Albertville open. With that said, as you stated previously there wouldn't be any BF there anyway because there aren't any BB stores in Minnesota carry the line. I'd be interested as well to hear if BF turns up at any other BB outlets.....

It would be interesting to see what, say, Suzuki from EG would do. Browne's actually done some nice looking pieces (from the pics, I've not seen them in person), with a bunch of throwaway stuff, too, of course. BB would do well to keep it a vibrant line, though. All Browne all the time can get old.
