Thom Browne suits raise the cuff

Filed under: Style in the News, Men

"You're wearing highwaters!" we'd giggle, back when I was a teenager, to boys whose pants showed some ankle. Now, though, showing some ankle is apparently very, very cool.

As David Colman reports in the Style Section of today's New York Times, designer Thom Browne has raised the mark -- quite literally -- with his $3,500 suits. Despite impeccable tailoring, they ride a bit high ... by design. And with clients like David Bowie and George Stephanopolous, Browne has become the it-boy of men's fashion. He's even signed a two-year deal with Brooks Brothers to give the brand a bit more edge.

Browne's line, of course, has going for it than just short man-pants. Check it out here.

Why the lady is a vamp

If you've seen the photographs of Scarlett Johansson from the Venice film festival, you probably noticed the old Hollywood way she carried herself on the red carpet. There was the long-flowing dresses, the smooth, gentle curls, and of course, there was that siren red lipstick. And while the rest of her peer group is tarting it up in dresses that look more like shirts and shoes that appear to have been swiped off the feet of a corner girl on Hollywood Boulevard, Scarlett's look demands that we take her seriously, as a woman and as an actress.

Bravo, ScaJo!

And the designers are already taking notice of this forties revival. This season, Paul Smith, Marni and Brooks Brothers all have pieces that hearken back to the Hepburn days (Audrey and Katharine).
