Were you cold sleeping last night? Are your pockets deep? If so, consider getting in bed with Thom Browne. The designer is looking for a financial partner, according to WWD. He's not saving money on his fashion shows, nor would we want him to. After all, as Amy Larocca put it, "they are the only shows we've ever been to in which the audience frequently laughs out loud." Browne's spring/summer '08 show featured lifeguards and palm trees, and his fall '08 line, as Cathy Horyn wrote, "offered the long-awaited thrill of seeing two men share the same trouser leg." WWD takes care to note that Browne isn't acting out of financial desperation (Browne also designs the Black Fleece capsule collection of men's and women's clothes for Brooks Brothers, and his signature collection is sold at Bergdorf Goodman). Nevertheless, cold, wealthy folk looking for something original to put their money into could do a lot worse.
