A TOMMY Hilfiger rock circus at the Camden Roundhouse was bound to feature a plethora of tartans, metal fonts and punk stripes, of course saturated in the brand’s signature red and blue hues. Heavy materials, heavy outerwear, heavy padlock chains and heavy metal, ironically set against a ‘90s soundtrack made for a spectacle not to be missed.
Tommy’s recent revival supported by the Hadids is appropriately far from the earthy shades that have dominated the past decade as all-American patriotism influences fashion once again. Patches and varsity jackets are reinvented by fusing such silhouettes with fingerless gloves and and mesh tops to become hardcore. Closing London Fashion Week with a star-studded line up of models, a crowd of famous faces and undeniable future trends is Tommy Hilfiger doing what he does best. The multi-millionaire taps into current culture and puts on a spectacle to prove he is able to make his mark once again.
