In a sparse warehouse dotted with trees, models sauntered down the runway in tweed coats to the sound of ravens as US designer Thom Browne closed New York Fashion Week with what he called a "romantically dark" show.

The designer's theatrical Autumn/Winter 2024 collection on Wednesday (Feb 14) evening was inspired by Edgar Allan Poe's seminal The Raven, in which the hero, who has just lost his lover, is visited by the black bird.
