Tech industry veteran (Apple, Square, Tumblr), old school indie Mac/iOS developer (PodWorks, Birdfeed), maker of apps at Brooklyn Computer Club.

The period is the middle of the 20th century and the purest images of midcentury cool, Mr. Browne says, are those of Steve McQueen in “The Thomas Crown Affair,” John F. Kennedy while still junior senator from Massachusetts, and Thomas Watson types in tie-clips and wing tips, toting Samsonite attaché cases to their jobs running I.B.M.

“There was this distinct American style then that people around the world looked to,” Mr. Browne said, sipping a 1996 vintage Dom Pérignon from a tumbler. The taut conformity of that style, the aura of the machine efficiency characteristic of expansionist postwar America — a period that coincides with the 47-year-old designer’s childhood in Allentown, Pa. — is what Mr. Browne likes to believe he has brought to fashion.
