Thom Browne’s show evoked two themes: the first was what would Thurston Howell III do if he didn’t happen to bring all of that luggage with him when he was shipwrecked on Gilligan’s Island? The millionaire would have had to make due and adapt, but he would never lose his aristocratic air. Briefcases were covered in painted black seashells, a trench had more holes than Swiss cheese, blazers were cut from material usually used for Scuba suits.

The next theme was very Lord of the Flies and conjured images of castaway prep school boys, all with Browne’s trademark uber-fitted cut, but just a bit askew. There were ragged raw patches on some of the garments and obvious mending, roughing up the private school edges with some public school flavor.

It was all obviously beach-themed, with patterns of swordfish adorning many garments and even a slew of bucket-style fishermen hats. Seersucker was dominant, and yes, there wasn’t a covered ankle in sight. Browne also invented a cross between a sarong and shorts. Sarorts?

Some standouts include long skinny woven ties with simple silver clips, and the iridescent metallic silver shorts, quite futuristic for Browne, that really worked.
