New York Fashion: Hilfiger and von Furstenberg

Tommy Hilfiger embraced the sailing life in his 2013 women’s collection at New York Fashion Week, continuing his theme of stripes and infusing a relaxed look into his favourite tailored shapes.

He said: “This is the American voyage.She’s travelling the world and it’s about sea and land. It’s about nautical and safari. So she’s going on a yacht and she’s dressing comfy and casual and she’s wearing menswear-influenced pyjamas. Lot of stripes.”

Vertical and horizontal lines played a big part in his clothes along with flowing loose-fitting trousers and blazers.

Also in Manhattan, Diane Von Furstenberg’s collection was luxury wanderlust – outfits with what she described as “the polish of a princess and the heart of gypsy”.
