Meet Thom Browne, the stripe-obsessed designer who took on Adidas and won
Born in Allentown, Pennsylvania, Browne opened his first store in New York City in 2003 with five made-to-measure grey suits. His company has since expanded to over 50 stores and also sells footwear, accessories like eyewear and neckties, and a fragrance,"The grey suit remains elemental to all he does, signifying a singular point-of-view and the commitment to exceptional quality in fabrics and tailoring," Thom Browne's website reads.
"I have always been inspired by sports. I grew up swimming, playing tennis, and come from a family of seven kids who - we all did sports," he said on NPR."So the stripes really were inspired by varsity tennis sweaters and varsity pieces of clothing.", Adidas came calling again in 2018 about the striped designs. By then, Thom Browne was dressing sports teams like the NBA's Cleveland Cavaliers and European soccer club FC Barcelona for pregame appearances.
