New York Autumn/Winter 2008
Tommy Hilfiger, Autumn/Winter '08 (scroll down to read the review)
Tommy Hilfiger
The impossibly beautiful Pharrell Williams was a star in this audience, his already fine cheek bones enhanced with diamond studs. Tommy Hilfiger is now all about sophistication rather than rock and roll - and as if to demonstrate this, the show was staged at Avery Fisher Hall in Philip Johnson's Lincoln Center, home of the New York Philharmonic, a venue that hasn't seen a fashion show since the 1970s.
Fitting then that Hilfiger took us back to 1970s Paris via Manhattan. Slacks (what a great word) were cut in fine wool with a gentle flare and high waist, and jackets fastened high double breast-style with pretty, box pleat backs. Navy tomato red (a big colour for Autumn/Winter) and camel made up the colour palette. There were elegant crossover skirts with contrasting piping, flirty chiffon blouses in a quiet plaid, silk blouse dresses with tiny covered buttons running down the side of a bias cut. And a pair of strides in a navy, white and red smudged check, teamed with a cardigan jacket, perfect for skipping across a Fifth Avenue zebra crossing in an Arthur Elgort shoot.
