On the eve of New York Fashion Week, designer and CFDA chairman Thom Browne shared an anticipatory screed for the season on Instagram, delivered in his signature ellipses-happy lowercase:
the summer is over…
it certainly doesn’t feel like it, though…
i have to admit i was tempted to wear my seersucker for a couple more days through this heat…
i didn’t…
there are some rules that one should never break…
seersucker after labor day is one of them…
You heard the man! Summer is over, it’s still hot outside, but we’re steadfastly out here getting dressed and appreciating all that the New York fashion scene has to offer. In turn, famous people have descended upon the city in their best menswear, ready to see the runway shows, and hit up the afterparties—all in this darn heat. Some of those folks (including Thom Browne himself!) are bravely breaking all the rules and wearing shorts at night. Scroll on to see the best celebrity street style from NYFW so far.
