Sunday September 11, 2011 – The Theatre, Lincoln Center
Tommy Hilfiger is not hiding his love for camouflage. Infused in shades of blue, green or red, the print, which made a strong debut at both his men’s and women’s Spring 2012 collection looked fresh, young and modern without a hint of military. The Prince de Galles print got “inked out” with pink and baby blue stripes. Inspired by the tenets of pop art, Andy Warhol and Basquiat, Hilfiger’s take on prep always has it’s pulse on urban inspired modernism. Elements from the menswear wardrobe have been re-interpreted in shirt-dresses, long-sleeved jumpsuits and shirttail hems. Leather polo dresses, appealing motorcycle jackets and a basic blazer paired with envelope-shaped leather clutches were some of the more enviable looks. Sporting this season’s collection, the Courtin Clarins girls happily took in the show from the front row. And on a somber September 11 anniversary, Tommy’s “Prep Pop” gave a sense of optimism about the Americana style, solidifying its place as a formidable style that will endure beyond 2012.
