"New York fashion week isn&amp;#39;t usually known for wild, avant garde statement-making&amp;#8212;generally, that sort of thing is left to Paris and designers such as Rei Kawakubo at Comme des Garcons, Junya Watanabe, Yohji Yamamoto, and Belgian fashion houses like Maison Martin Margiela. But last night, master tailor Thom Browne presented a conceptual show&amp;#8212;that, depending on your tastes and artistic leanings, you&amp;#39;ll probably either love or hate.\nPinterestFacebookA model on the runway at Thom Browne&amp;#39;s fall 2012 show at the New York Public Library.\nPHOTO: Thom BrowneThe theme of the Thom Browne show was&amp;#8212;wait for it&amp;#8212;dead women. Women who had &amp;quot;died for fashion,&amp;quot; according to the New York Times.\nAt the presentation, the audience was informed that: &amp;quot;They loved fashion. They died for fashion, and twice a year they get to dream about what they love, their fantasy. And tonight, they are dreaming about fall 2012. Enjoy their dream and enjoy their fantasy.&amp;quot;\nPinterestFacebookThere were models in coffins.\nPinterestFacebookA model on the runway at Thom Browne&amp;#39;s fall 2012 show at the New York Public Library.\nPHOTO: Thom BrowneMetallic silver lips, knit fox stoles, heavy multi-textural layering, and mesh tulle over models&amp;#39; faces and shoes.\nPinterestFacebookA model on the runway at Thom Browne&amp;#39;s fall 2012 show at the New York Public Library.\nPHOTO: Thom BrowneMeticulously executed razor-sharp suits presented with daring sculptural wraps&amp;#8212;like this one, above.\nPinterestFacebookA model on the runway at Thom Browne&amp;#39;s fall 2012 show at the New York Public Library.\nPHOTO: Thom BrowneStriking reworked suiting silhouettes&amp;#8212;high, rounded shoulders, nipped waistlines, paired with long-line skirting&amp;#8212;all underlayed with tulle.\nPinterestFacebookA model on the runway at Thom Browne&amp;#39;s fall 2012 show at the New York Public Library.\nPHOTO: Thom BrowneMore sculptural fashion-as-art.\nPinterestFacebookA model on the runway at Thom Browne&amp;#39;s fall 2012 show at the New York Public Library.\nPHOTO: Thom BrowneI love this piece&amp;#8212;It&amp;#39;s kind of dinosaur-y, no?\nPinterestFacebookA model on the runway at Thom Browne&amp;#39;s fall 2012 show at the New York Public Library.\nPHOTO: Thom BrowneThis gown is stunning&amp;#8212;imagine it without the tulle wrap around it? The fit, the embellishment, the shape is all gorgeous.\nWhat do you think of this conceptual Thom Browne presentation? I&amp;#39;m not going to lie, I know it&amp;#39;s weird, but I love it&amp;#8212;I love seeing something surprising and directional at fashion week in New York. I love the thought that Browne put into his looks, I love the showmanship, I love how it&amp;#39;s visually riveting, has moments of absolute beauty, but also makes you feel slightly confused all at the same time.\nPLUS... check out all our fashion week coverage here!\nPhoto credit: Fairchild Archives"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
