NYFW diary: Peppiness and preppiness at Diane Von Furstenberg and Tommy Hilfiger
The King and Queen of New York fashion, Tommy Hilfiger and Diane Von Furstenberg, took to the stage on Sunday at the Lincoln Center, addressing the fashion kingdom with pops of prep, and a bold colour palette of brights. What started off as a simple collection of sheer, crinkled cotton whites at DVF quickly transformed into vibrant geometric prints of turquoise and purple, uber-embellished pastels, and silky pyjama-like pieces in the bold patterns we’ve come to expect and adore from Furstenberg. My favourite moment of the show, however, came as Diane took her bow, walking the runway to Nina Simone‘s “Feeling Good,” and showering the crowd with mini American flags, reminding everyone that her favourite colours are red, white, and blue.
Later in the night, the crowd showed up for a rockin’ good time, complete with a Stones/Killers/Little Dragon soundtrack and a VIP velvet rope for front-row stars Malin Akerman, Abbie Cornish, as well as random couple Russell Simmons and the pouty-lipped Melissa George. The ‘60s-influenced show gave us plenty of Tommy’s signature playful preppiness but best in show goes to the oxford shirt–styled moto jackets, coloured leather skirt suits, and the colour-blocked gold signet bracelets. Gimme gimme!
