Berlin, Berlin, crazy, sexy and cool, and no, we are not just talking about the nightlife, this fascinating city is also home to some of the brightest stars in contemporary, avant garde fashion. Chasseur, ever at the forefront, regularly has a man on the ground in Berlin, and most recently catching our eye is designer Thom Krom. Thom Krom who set up his own label in 2009, designs everyday menswear and womenswear staples with a minimalist avant garde bent, and also focuses on taking an eco-fashion approach in manufacturing terms. The concept is utilitarian minimalism, clothes that borrow from the work wardrobe and are given a signature post modern twist through details such as outside seams and asymmetrical designs.
Drawing inspiration from cities such as Tokyo, London and Copenhagen, Thom Krom creates an urban uniform that features basics such as extra long jersey tees and tops, cowl necked hoods, and sharply fashion forward outerwear (here Krom focuses much more on asymmetries). Colours are strictly dark, mostly running to black, greys and midnight blue with a faded, worn in look resulting is a dystopianly shabby industrialist aesthetic that is oh so Berlin. His collections regularly sell out in Berlin stores as soon as they hit the rails marking this designer as one to watch!
