Behind the design

Thom Browne’s fall/winter 2024–25 haute couture ensemble makes an anatomical image visible within a long, pale garment. The Met records cotton and glass in one component, with cotton and several leathers in the others. Its display photograph is credited to Paul Westlake; the exposed-body effect belongs to the design rather than a transparent view into an actual wearer.
