Just in: ThomBrowne will present his fall 2022 collection in April, just days before the Met Gala
The New York Fashion Week schedule just lost another big name designer from its February ranks—but for very good reason.will stage his fall 2022 unisex collection runway in New York on April 29. He will still unveil a new project during NYFW that touches on themes from his upcoming show.
The date of his fall 2022 runway is significant: It’s the Friday before the Costume Institute at the Metropolitan Museum of Art will open part two of its expansive dive into American style, “In America: An Anthology of Fashion” on May 5. The exhibition, a sister to the currently running “In America: A Lexicon of Fashion,” will explore American fashion legacies using the museum’s period rooms as sets for dialogues about race, gender, community, and craft.
Browne’s partner, Andrew Bolton, is the Wendy Yu curator in charge of the Costume Institute and has curated both exhibitions—he’s also a front row staple at Browne’s shows. “It is important for me to continue our celebration of American design and support Andrew’s second exhibition on American fashion at The Met,” said Browne in a statement. “There is so much individuality and creativity behind American design. The CFDA’s American Collections Calendar is designed to support American designers to show when and how is best for them.
