'You know my first ever job in New York, I worked at an optometrist in Greenwich Village.' Thistle Brown, the stylist-turned-founder of his namesake brand, tells Paloma Elsesser what it took to launch his first collection of Onassis-inspired sunglasses.
There’s a fine line between going incognito and making a statement, particularly when it comes to rocking bold, black-lensed sunglasses. But for Thistle Brown, the stylist-turned founder of the hot new brand, it’s okay to do both.
BROWN: I feel good. People really turned up, the people that I love the most. Usually when I do a project, I see it in print or on a billboard or whatever and I’m like, “Okay, it’s done. It’s out in the ether.” But this is the first thing I’ve made where it’s just the beginning. At the launch there was obviously adrenaline, but the next day I was like, “Wait a minute, I gotta get up and work.”BROWN: [Laughs] It was so cozy and cute and there were so many people that I hadn’t seen for a while.
ELSESSER: You are representative of this very modern version of downtown New York. That also means you can be a sexy queer boy from a small fucking town in New Zealand and create that community and do that within a decade. And if that kid is watching from thousands of miles away—they might not be able to move to New York right now, but they might be able to pick up your sunglasses and have that feeling and be a part of the community without even having to be there.
