I’m very excited to be back for this milestone occasion to celebrate our brand’s 10th anniversary in India said Tommy Hilfiger while launching two limited-edition designs: a shawl for women and traditional bandi for men. The designer’s tour began with the deliverance of his knowledge enhancing lecture to the students of National Institute of Fashion Technology in New Delhi on 26th September.
Speaking to the future, emerging designers of the country, Hilfiger mentioned about his experiences with the growth of his fashion brand along with answering the students’ queries regarding fashion development and building a business in the global economy.
On this celebratory occasion, the designer was also bestowed with the precious GQ India’s ‘Men of the Year’ award, honoring the recognition of the contributions he has made to the global fashion industry over his 40-year career.
Meanwhile, speaking of his limited edition collection, the iconic Indian garments have been reinterpreted with preppy spirit of brand’s Americana style with India’s strong tradition of celebratory dress. The wool shawl incorporates a sophisticated white paisley jacquard on a navy blue base, contrasted with the brand’s signature red, white and navy multi-stripe design on the reverse side. Both prints are trimmed with the brand’s interlocking TH monogram jacquard. The men’s bandi – available in both classic navy suede and beige suede styles – is inspired by the fusion of Tommy Hilfiger’s iconic prep aesthetic with traditional Indian tailoring. Signature details, including contrast stitching, monogram buttons and an interior stripe lining.
