Is Thom Browne Possessed By Tim Burton?

Thom Browne is probably our favorite menswear designer: During fashion week's he's the name we're consistently looking for on the runway.

Thom has gone off the deep end with this fall's show. When we saw it, we scratched our head and wondered...

Is Thom Browne auditioning for costume designer for the next Tim Burton Movie?

Does Thom have a secret freaky circus sideshow fetish?

Is this a Project Runway challenge? We can hear Heidi Klum now: "Designers, your challenge is to create a look based on turn-of-the-Century sideshows. We want you to think Coney Island. Use your imaginations. We want to see straitjackets. We want to see chicken feathers. We want to see lots of dark eye makeup. Oh, and one more thing: This is a menswear challenge." [Insert collective groan from over-the-top contestants.] To which contestant Thom Browne said, "Yippee!! I've give them all that and raise them pointy hats with fuzzy-balled drawstrings, harlequin diamonded skirts, knee socks, clear plastic capes, conjoined legs and stilts!"

This is one of those runway shows that has a clear "point of view," though it's difficult to articulate, and one for which we have no idea how it will translate to real-life clothing. But you know what? No one ever does this type of risky thing with menswear, and we love Thom Browne for it, even if we do worry a bit about his mental health...

Andrew Christian: "Devoted To Making Men Feel Good"

Just when you thought it couldn't get any better, Andrew Christian is improving the look of men across the globe by adding a brand new component to his already #1 seller - Flashback. Andrew Christian has kept the basic concept of the flashback and its butt-lifting and contouring technology intact but now has added the anti-muffin top elastic and contrast stitching to the underwear.

The Flashback now features the anti-muffin top elastic that was first featured on the Andrew Christian Pro Lifeguard series. With this elastic, the Flashback now will give men a sleek, sexy waist line while wearing the underwear. Also contrast stitching in vibrant red as been added to the waistband of the product in order to give it a more powerful look.

"My entire line of underwear is meant to help make men feel good," says Andrew Christian, "I first introduced the anti-muffin top elastic with the Andrew Christian Pro Lifeguard series, and when I saw how overwhelming the response was, I wanted to add it to my other lines, beginning with the Flashback. The upgraded Flashback underwear continues to set the bar higher in the world of fashion underwear."
