New Brand Alert: THOM KROM (Germany)

A former trend scout/cool-hunter for international European fashion brands spanning a decade, German-born Thomas Kromik’s constant travels across the world’s fashion metropolises ensured that he developed a great sensitivity for visual influences. In 2009, Kromik founded his label Thom Krom with the objective of creating premium basics that combine quality fabrics and understated detailing.

Crafted with minimal avant-garde touches, this range of everyday menswear staples from the Thom Krom Spring 2013 Collection features soft, premium cotton and the textured appearance of unfinished edges.

Team them with slim-fit black jeans and boots to bring laid-back cool into your urban line-up.

(RRP £50 - £60)

Thom Krom is based in Hannover, Germany and is being sold only by exclusive multi-label retailers worldwide, including wondermomo.
