Thom Browne - GQ's 2008 Designer of the Year

That'll be me one day! I'm working on 2009.

The Designer
With no design training—he has an undergrad business degree and a failed acting career—Browne started in fashion by working the sales floor at Giorgio Armani before working his way up the design chain at Club Monaco, and then going solo. In 2005, just four years after opening up his first by-appointment-only bespoke store downtown, Browne was nominated for a CFDA—he won it in 2006, putting him in the same circle as past winners Marc Jacobs, Michael Kors, and Helmut Lang. In fall 2007, he debuted capsule men’s, women’s, and accessories collections under the globally recognized Brooks Brothers banner.
