Paris CNN —On Monday evening in Paris, American designer and Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA) chairman Thom Browne debuted his first haute couture collection in front of an audience of 2,300.
The scene was meticulously staged by Browne’s team, many of whom worked overnight.
“I wanted to turn the tables (of a traditional couture show) and make everybody sit on the stage along with the show,” Browne told CNN.
“We all want to be respectful to what’s going on here in France and in Paris,” Browne said.
