A chill, blustering wind brushes your cheeks, but you can’t help but grin through the flush. The air is crisp, the light stretched thin—yellow-turned-brown leaves crunch under wingtip pumps, pierced through at their softest points. The sky is mirror-blue, but the cold bites. Upstate, a circle of friends gathers for a well-needed reconnection. Winter is creeping in, slowly yet surely. And right on time, Thom Browne’s High Winter Collection arrives: technical outerwear with the polish of black-tie, made for the kind of days that linger long after they've passed.

The pieces radiate warmth—the kind that glows from within, like a fire humming in the hearth. Corduroy and pinstripe suits, plaids and ginghams, tights and knee-highs—all layered in that signature Browne precision, where coziness meets ceremony. It’s a study in duality: practical yet poised, tradition meeting the elements head-on.

Captured over a day in Hudson, New York, the campaign frames a lively ensemble of Browne’s friends and muses—backgammon-playing, river-jumping, jam-eating, all wrapped in quiet luxury. The cast includes The Gilded Age’s Morgan Spector, Louisa Jacobson, and Denée Benton, alongside Rebecca Hall, Sean Kaufman, Minnie Mills, and Sydney Lemmon. Tailored coats, silk organza, pencil skirts, and black bow ties blur into the amber landscape—a tableau of elegance in motion.

The evening closes at Stissing House in Pine Plains, where dinner stretches into laughter, and the fire finally gives way to night. Thom Browne’s High Winter Collection captures that very essence—the pleasure of cold air and close company, of refinement softened by warmth. Because sometimes, the best way to face winter is to dress for it beautifully.
