Designer Thom Browne has launched an exclusive collection with Nordstrom through the retailer's New Concepts @ Nordstrom' platform.  

Named Concept 009: Thom Browne, the collection offers a range of smart apparel and accessories, including jackets, cardigans, sweatshirts, a sweater, shorts, shirts, a pair of slides and a leather Dopp kit amongst other. All are designed to be suitable for everyday wear, but imbued with Browne's unique flavor. 

"I have to say, I feel like collaborations are getting a little overdone, and the only times I ever even entertain the idea of collaboration is if it's something that's really interesting to me—and I think, in turn, interesting to the customer," Browne said in a statement given to Complex. 

"So, for me, it stands out in that it really is not a traditional collaboration; it's a collaboration at a level that is a lot more intellectual and not purely commercial. The approach to this collaboration is done well and intelligently. It really elevates the collections within Nordstrom stores."

Prices range from $85 to $1,790 and is available now through May 3 on Nordstrom's website and in select Nordstrom stores in New York, Chicago, Dallas, Vancouver and Costa Mesa, California, Seattle, Miami and Los Angeles. 

The collection marks the ninth release under New Concepts @ Nordstrom, a platform dedicated to new menswear offerings. Previous collaborators have included Los Angeles-based streetwear retailer Union, Patagonia, Dior and Japanese publishing house, Printings.jp.
