Kendall Jenner walked in the Tommy Hilfiger runway show for SS15
The Tommy Hilfiger SS15 collection already has excited for festival fashion next summer, whilst we may be saying goodbye to long days and sun-kissed skin, the designer has us dreaming of it once again.
The music festival girl was his muse for the Spring Summer 15 season, and Tommy Hilfiger channels his long-time love for rock-and-roll for this collection.
The look is a glamorous riff on the vintage rock style of his favourite iconic musicians of the late 60s and early 70s. Inspired by the heyday of rock’s golden era, his collection takes an updated cue from the free-spirited festival girls of today, channelling their youthful energy and effortless cool.
It was no wonder that Alexa Chung was sat front row, the style icon has been voted best dressed celeb festival goer for two years running now.
The collection features Tommy’s signature colour palette, given an edgy remix in deep, moody hues with metallic pops.
Embellished concert tees, eclectic vintage buttons and brocade taping on band jackets, pea coats and flared trousers evoke a nostalgic King’s Road attitude. Georgia May Jagger, daughter of Rolling Stones front man Mick Jagger, opened Tommy’s Spring 2015 runway show in the first look from the designer’s latest collection – a perfect nod to the style that the collection is inspired by.
Sixties-era military tailoring is seen throughout the collection as a nod to theatrical Sgt. Pepper style; and familiar Tommy classics are given a rocket twist –the Breton striped t-shirt is finished with a gold bullion trim and done in an airy silk jersey, and jeans and jean jackets inspired by his 70s archival pieces are re-interpreted in a patchwork of selvedge denim.
A series of translucent washed silk chiffon dresses printed with playful tattoo graphics, commissioned by Fernando Lions, are a nod to the freewheeling psychedelic album art of the era. A spray of constellations punctuate the collection via suede skirts and dresses in classic A-line shapes, mirroring the models’ hand-painted star tattoo body art.
Tommy’s timeless silhouettes and sharp tailoring are infused with a spirited vibe that is distinctly rock-and-roll – it is the intersection of the two lifelong passions that are Tommy’s greatest inspiration.
