Gothic gang: Models were tailoring-clad coffin carriers solemnly marching straight out of the mind of Tim Burton, sporting long, straight-cut skirts, crushed velvet jackets and recently-widowed Victoriana veils. Though the garments were somber, the designs showed a playfulness – fur lined, above-the-knee coats were worn with bare legs and socks. How it was worn: With faces hidden behind lace and mesh, silk top hats, felt wigs and Orthodox-esque fedoras. The black-on-black was somewhat offset with prints, embroideries and details – including small silver whale charms. Backstage at Thom Browne AW15Photography Fernando UcedaEscape the algorithm!
