Someone at Thom Browne looked at an office suit and thought: this needs to go in the water. 🌊
That’s how the “Trompe L’Oeil” was born, a technical neoprene jumpsuit from the 2017 summer collection that imitates down to the last detail, a complete formal suit: jacket, tie, pocket square, and everything. The name couldn’t be more honest — it literally means “tricks the eye”. And it works: from a distance, it looks like an executive decided to go into the sea without taking off their office uniform. The price of this haute couture joke? 3.900 dollars.
When the photo went viral, people didn’t stay quiet. One user summed up the general feeling by comparing the suit to a Fortnite character skin. Because sometimes luxury takes itself so seriously that it ends up looking like a video game costume. 🕶️
