INTRODUCING TOMMY HILFIGER'S MODERN PREP

Iconic Designer Debuts Men's Spring 2012 Collection rnat Fashion Week in New York City rnrnSeptember 2011, New York NY: Get ready for "Modern Preppy!" rnrnAt Fashion Week in New York City, Tommy Hilfiger introduced his Spring 2012 Men's Collection which the fashion icon describes as "Modern Prep." rn rnTommy's Modern Prep: Knits, Polos, Varsity Jacket, Classic Jeans, More! rnrnColors inspired by pop art make even classic knits and polos a bit twisted. Iconic, American shapes are updated in contemporary fabrics and execution for a modern interpretation of prep. Color blocking and nautical stripes (used every which way, including as mac taping down a side seam on a pair of jeans) underscore the overall boldness. Camo, rendered in faintly dusty groups of tonal blue, green, and red, hint at the great outdoors, while lightweight leather jackets and desert boots provide extra protection from the elements. rnrnFor more urban adventures, the varsity jacket is re-imagined and paired with riffed-on nautical stripes and new-shape polos, replete with a collegiate TH varsity patch. Nautical-inspired tailoring—cotton twill suiting with taped stripes detail, a seersucker motorcycle jacket—are paired with brogue-detailed shoe boots and loafers in camo, cordovan, and navy. rnrnOuterwear is key: the classic jean jacket in red leather, featherweight anoraks, extra-soft suede blazers, and leather-sleeved varsity jackets are essential to completing the look. Highly civilized, slightly rebellious.
