Tommy Hilfiger gets sporty and retro for fall 2018
TRACK SUITS, oversized jackets, and color blocked dresses are among the pieces in Tommy Hilfiger’s 2018 fall collection.
This year, the brand collaborated with Formula One® champion Lewis Hamilton. The TommyxLewis collaboration revisits sportswear incorporated with the athlete’s luxury street style and lucky number 44.
“The unisex styling is really powerful and makes the whole collection work for everyone. This is something totally fresh for us, which can only come from collaborating with partners who share our values and drive. I’m excited to see how our global fans will add their own twist to the different styles this fall,” fashion designer Tommy Hilfiger said of the collection, as quoted in a press release.
Among the pieces are a red intarsia hockey sweater, a long military-green parka with detachable reversible liner, and a white tracksuit with velvet stripes on the arm and leg seams. The brand’s signature flag is positioned between Lewis Hamilton’s sky captain-colored initials in old English gothic typeset.
Alongside the latest collaboration, the brand also released the TOMMY ICONS capsule collection with model Hailey Baldwin and model and activist Winnie Harlow as ambassadors.
“We embrace them, we put them in great ad campaigns, we collab[orate] and work with them. But at the same time, their social media following and their fan following helps us, so it’s a win-win on both,” Mr. Hilfiger told Vogue in September. “We’ve been fortunate in choosing people that are close to the DNA of our brand, and meaningful in our culture.”
Tommy Hilfiger has previously collaborated with celebrities in prime such as Britney Spears, Beyonce, and Aaliyah to represent the voice of the youth.
The collection includes a metallic gold puffer jacket, a black and red Arctic-inspired parka jacket, and a velvet and chenille yarn sweater with a “TOMMY” graphic. The signature appears in a “stretch” flag logo with hints of gold.
Tommy Hilfiger is exclusively distributed by Stores Specialists, Inc., with stores located at Central Square in Bonifacio High Street Central, Greenbelt 5, Kiss & Fly – NAIA Terminal 3, Newport Mall, Rustan’s Makati, and Rustan’s Shangri-La Plaza. — Michelle Anne P. Soliman
