Thom Browne glasses for the connoisseur.

It’s hard to believe Thom Browne didn’t actually study to be a fashion designer. Born in Pennsylvania, Thom Browne attended the University of Notre Dame in Indiana. He studied business and economics. By chance, he found himself in the fashion industry after moving to New York in 1997 where he had moved to pursue acting. He started working in Giorgio Armani’s showroom. During this time he was discovered by Ralph Lauren, who hired him as a designer after seeing one of Thom’s signature suits. In 2001, he left to start his own label. In 2003 he opened his made-to-measure store in New York, then just three years later he presented at New York Fashion Week. In 2007,  he began a collaboration with Brooks Brothers. The following year was named designer of the year by GQ. In 2013, the CFDA awarded Browne its Menswear Designer of the Year Award. He was famed for revolutionising men's tailoring. Later he became widely recognized for his womenswear. U.S. first lady Michelle Obama wore one of his designs to the 2013 presidential inauguration.

His first endeavour into eyewear started in 2011 when he collaborated with DITA Eyewear.  Thom along with Dita co-founders Jeff Solorio and John Junipers share a passion for perfection, high-quality materials and innovative craftsmanship. The Thom Browne glasses collection boasts simplistic pieces manufactured with the finest materials and extraordinary craftsmanship, to create elegance and refinement across every frame.
