Teyana Taylor and Her Daughters Matched in Thom Browne at the GQ Bowl

Teyana Taylor and Her Daughters Matched in Thom Browne at the GQ Bowl

Published by Jenni Sidey

Teyana Taylor has had a big, busy 2026 so far. Last month, she accepted her first Golden Globe Award for her performance in Paul Thomas Anderson’s One Battle After Another. Shortly thereafter, she made her Saturday Night Live debut—paying tribute to her Harlem roots in a sequined I <3 NY shirt—alongside the young, beloved indie band Geese. Last weekend, she presented at the Grammys (where she was also nominated). And, just now, she made an appearance at the second annual GQ Bowl, our fashion-meets-football runway extravaganza. This year’s GQ Bowl hosted the fall 2026 collection of American designer and CFDA chairman Thom Browne. The suiting savant styled many of the evening’s guests in the brand’s signatures, which include ultra-tailored suits, quadri-stripes, and the color gray. (So much is their commitment to the hue, even the step-and-repeat unfolded over a gray carpet.)

25 Years Ago, Thom Browne’s Suits Changed Menswear Forever. They Still Look Radical

25 Years Ago, Thom Browne’s Suits Changed Menswear Forever. They Still Look Radical

Published by Jenni Sidey

Very few suits alter the course of menswear history. But we’d wager that most guys with even a passing interest in tailoring could identify one of Thom Browne’s paradigm-shifting suits on sight alone. Browne introduced his shrunken gray suit 25 years ago. In the time since, its impossible-to-miss signifiers haven’t changed all that much. The 3-roll-2 jacket that just meets the hip bone; the high, narrow armholes; the slim, cropped trousers that land a handful of inches above the shoes (ideally a pair of pebble-grain brogues). With its cheeky nods to the mid-century man in gray flannel, Browne’s hero product shocked and awed the industry when it debuted, and it looks as startlingly contemporary now as it did then. Browne’s suits have also crossed over into the popular subconscious through decades of cosigns from the world’s most elite athletes. Amid a grueling playoff run in 2016, LeBron James famously outfitted the entire Cleveland Cavaliers team in the designer’s wares; just a couple of years later, Lionel Messi and FC Barcelona embraced his suits as their …

GQ and Thom Browne Go West: Get Ready for the 2026 GQ Bowl Fashion Show

GQ and Thom Browne Go West: Get Ready for the 2026 GQ Bowl Fashion Show

Published by Sam Flores

GQ Bowl, fashion’s most football-forward night, returns on February 6. After a rollicking inaugural kick-off of our collaborative runway with designer Emily Bode last year, we’re bringing back the camaraderie during the big-game weekend in San Francisco with the one and only Thom Browne. At the event, Browne, preeminent suiting maestro and chairman of the CFDA, will present his fall 2026 collection, featuring both menswear and womenswear, at the City by the Bay’s Legion of Honor museum. Timed to the big football weekend, it’s a fitting union for the designer in more ways than one. Having grown up tossing the pigskin around on Thanksgiving in Allentown, Pennsylvania, Browne’s connection to the sport runs deep. (“Somebody usually got hurt, somebody usually broke something, somebody got pushed over the fence,” he once recalled to GQ.) Over the years, the designer has also served as his alma mater’s—the college football giant, University of Notre Dame—artist-in-residence. For years, he’s designed football-themed collections and even hosted annual pick-up matches on the campus—a tradition he began with his employees back in …

Thom Browne Is the King of the Sports-Fashion Crossover

Thom Browne Is the King of the Sports-Fashion Crossover

Published by Jenni Sidey

When Thom Browne sends his fall 2026 collection down the runway at GQ Bowl—our second annual football-meets-fashion spectacular, which hits San Francisco on Friday, February 6—it’ll mark the latest chapter in the designer’s lifelong obsession with sports. Browne grew up an athlete himself, dominating the tennis courts as a kid in small-town Pennsylvania and swimming competitively at Notre Dame. That affinity for athletics has long seeped into his work: He has staged fashion shows inspired by ice skating and surfing and hosts a starry touch football game every autumn. And, of course, he has turned countless hallmarks of classic American sportswear—from bar stripes and varsity jackets to tennis sweaters and locker loops—into key totems of his oeuvre. It’s no surprise, then, that Browne counts several rosters’ worth of all-star athletes among his most loyal acolytes. Everyone from LeBron James to Lionel Messi to Travis Kelce has donned the designer’s signature shrunken suits in their respective pregame tunnels. His more fanciful creations have graced the Met Gala steps on the likes of pros like Shai Gilgeous-Alexander …
