Will the real Thom Browne please stand up

Amazing. Here a some shots from New York designer Thom Browne's latest menswear collection in Milan. In lieu of a runway show (seems to be all the rage these days), Browne opted for a presentation and it did not disappoint. 40 male models acted out some sort of ritualistic office scene which was set, apparently, in the 1950s. "The models all wore the same outfit: a shrunken gray suit, cardigan, wing tips, and camel overcoat. After they walked into the room, a 'boss' rang a bell at which point they took off their short coats and slim-fitting suit jackets, sat down, and started typing. They sat at identical desks and even ate identical lunches." Pretty cool, eh? Now, please excuse me while I go watch Mad Men for more inspiration.
