Preppy Meets Pop At Tommy Hilfiger

Sunday couldn't have been a more appropriate day for Tommy Hilfiger to show off his latest offerings at Lincoln Center.

The American designer's spring collection is filled with reds, whites and blues that come in the form of plaids, camouflage and stripes.

There was also a strong emphasis on menswear with a feminine twist like oversized dress shirts worn as dresses and tailored suits.

As the title says, it's very preppy with a splash of pop.

MLK Memorial Event Co-Chaired By Tommy Hilfiger Postponed

Filed Under: Politik Barack Obama Sad Sad Tommy Hilfiger

This is disappointing.

Due to Hurricane Irene hitting the east coast, the organizers behind the Washington DC Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial have called off the special gala on Saturday evening and the Sunday dedication ceremony, co-chaired by the Tommy Hilfiger Corporate Foundation.

The event was expected to attract almost 250,000 and was going to be attended by celebrities and politicians like President Barack Obama.

Sunday marks the 48th anniversary of the March in Washington and MLK’s I Have A Dream speech.

A rep for the organization revealed:

“In consultation with the National Park Service, the mayor’s office and FEMA, it is with a heavy heart and enormous disappointment that we announce that, in the interest of public safety, we are forced to change our plans.”

As for The Hilfiger Foundation, they've been a key sponsor of the project for over a decade, even donating over $6.25 million and helping raise an extra $2 mil for the memorial.

Hilfiger was also going to donate to the audience over 100,000 custom baseball caps which feature artwork inspired by the memorial and were going to dress about 1,500 volunteers in custom made polos displaying the Memorial logo.

The ceremony will be moved to a later date in September or October.

Look out Karl Lagerfeld, there's a new designer coming to Macy's and his name is Steven Tyler!

Seriously.

The Aerosmith front man has teamed up with Andy Hilfiger aka Tommy Hilfiger's brother on a "rocker inspired" clothing line called Andrew Charles.

If the name Andy Hilfiger sounds familiar, he's the man behind Tyler's fellow American Idol judge Jennifer Lopez's failed clothing line Sweetface Fashions.

Steven Tyler was the main inspiration for the men's line and will star in the ads alongside his 22 year old daughter Chelsea Tyler who will model the Stevie Nicks inspired womenswear.

Andrew Charles rock-n-rolls into Macy's in September with a collection of scarves called Rock Scarf launching in October.
