In addition to using the cream-colored muslin as the base for all his dresses, Thom Browne decided to get literal with the Olympics, making him the second show recently (of which I’m aware at this point) to find that inspirational. Per WWD:
Those laurel leaves, and the muscular tug of war that took place on the muslin runway before the show, nodded to the 2024 Paris Olympics which kick off later this month. Browne’s sport references stretched from the discus throwers of ancient Greece, which appeared on the dazzling finale blazers in bronze, silver and gold, to modern-day running cleats tacked to the bottom of radical heels with voided-out platform soles.
NO ONE can resist the allure of the Olympics.
