Thom Browne's concept is always clear: transform traditional items into cutting-edge pieces with unconventional ideas and present them in the most entertaining way possible. The MONCLER GAMME BLEU Fall/Winter 2015-16 collection, presented at Milan Men's Fashion Week, was based on Moncler's original down jackets from the 1950s. The opening saw a group of classic down jackets in the same color tones of gray, camel, navy, and black line up and march down a runway reminiscent of a winter forest. Afterwards, each model paused in front of a tree to remove their down jackets and overpants, revealing the full Thom Browne world, combining Gamme Bleu's signature classic tailored style with bold checks and colored stripes. All of the pieces were inspired by the uniforms worn by horse racing jockeys.

The down liner worn by the model in the opening was coordinated with the jockey-motif graphic and was expressed using a variety of materials, techniques and items, including transfer print, jacquard, embroidery and knit.

On the feet were riding boots and classic goggles, gorgeously wrapping up 50s equestrian style with the brand's signature crazy patterns. Lightweight Cordura down was hung from the branches of a dead tree, brightly lighting up the "winter walking path."
