Tommy Hilfiger Spring 2013

 

“Fresh, clean and crisp” was the overarching feel Tommy Hilfiger said he was aiming for with his men’s collection, and the designer delivered in spades. Stripes in multiform permutations were the dominant decorative motif, giving the show (held, aptly, at the Maritime Hotel) a brisk, nautical feel. Apart from traditional Breton-stripe jerseys, there were racing stripes on jackets, bold, colorful pencil stripes on seersucker suits and bands on the arms of blazers. “When I started my collection over 25 years ago, I did nautical and safari, so I wanted to redo it — in a brand new way — under the heading of ‘Prep Club,’” Hilfiger said. Much of the updating came courtesy of creative consultant Simon Spurr, who brought an Englishman’s sharp eye for polished elegance to Hilfiger’s classic American sportswear — and whom Hilfiger was quick to credit From WWD.
