This would not be a first for Browne, who has famously staged theatrical fashion shows throughout his career. Despite having left New York Fashion Week in recent seasons for Paris, the designer in September joined the schedule of events with a performance installation at Bergdorf Goodman.

“The Officepeople” bowed on Sept. 7 at Bergdorf Goodman in celebration of the arrival of Thom Browne women’s wear at the department store. The performance was followed by a VIP cocktail party inside the store.

As reported, the American designer will stage his first coed show for the fall 2020 season on March 1 in Paris.
