Prepare yourself for an unforgettable evening of style and sports, as GQ Bowl 2026 is set to make a grand return on February 6! This event, which fuses the excitement of fashion with the thrill of football, promises to be an extraordinary showcase. Following a vibrant kickoff last year with designer Emily Bode, we are thrilled to welcome the illustrious Thom Browne to this year's festivities in San Francisco.
Thom Browne, renowned for his masterful approach to suiting and currently the chairman of the CFDA, will unveil his Fall 2026 collection during this special occasion. The setting for this anticipated fashion show will be the magnificent Legion of Honor museum, perfectly timed to coincide with the big game weekend. For Browne, this event holds special significance; he has deep roots in football, having fondly recalled his childhood memories of playing in Allentown, Pennsylvania during Thanksgiving—where games often ended with a few bumps and bruises. As he humorously reminisced, "Somebody usually got hurt, somebody usually broke something, somebody got pushed over the fence."
Browne’s connection to football extends beyond nostalgia. He has served as an artist-in-residence at the University of Notre Dame, where he not only designed football-themed collections but also initiated annual pick-up games on campus starting in 2014. His commitment to blending fashion with this beloved sport was further highlighted last fall when he collaborated with GQ for an exciting touch football match during New York Fashion Week, making this upcoming celebration of fashion and football even more thrilling.
