TOMMY HILFIGER SHOOTS AND SCORES AT NEW YORK FASHION WEEK 2015...

He shoots, he scores! Tommy Hilfiger scores a touch down during New York Fashion Week 2015.

Fashion week has kicked off to a flying start down in The Big Apple and one designer possibly had football on the brain when he designed his latest A/W collection.

In celebration for the brands 30th birthday, Tommy Hilfiger didn’t shy away from a fashion extravaganza. He mixed his two favourite

things together: sport and America. The result? A giant

catwalk/football field filled with gorgeous sportswear.

The show happened to be on Presidents Day and the 63 year old designer decided to take the saying ‘go hard or go home’ literally. The guests invitations had been designed so they looked like tickets

from an NFL game, the backstage area had been designed to resemble a locker room and the models replaced the football players, they ditched their footballs for designer handbags.

Hilfiger says he got the inspiration for this collection from “An American Love Story inspired by Ali MacGraw” and we also saw strong influences from the sixties and seventies. There were enough

varsity stripes for everyone and Hilfiger made sport and luxury unite.

We saw fur jackets with ‘30’ on the back to resemble a football jersey, skirts which looked as though they had just come out of a cheerleaders changing room and high-heeled boots made to look like football boots.

Go Tommy go!
