Tommy Hilfiger To Launch Collection With Vetements
With a distinct nod to the nineties
Tommy Hilfiger and Vetements have teamed on a new fashion collection, launching this autumn.
The range – which will be available at Harrods, Barneys and Colette, includes unisex items such as oversized hoodies, short-sleeve T-shirts, beanies and socks in a colour palette of grey, navy, red and fuchsia. Prices will be similar to Vetements, with hoodies at Dhs4,099, socks at Dhs414 and caps at Dhs1,044.
Hilfiger told WWD that Guram Dvasalia – one half of the Vetements duo – contacted him around six yo mine months ago. He describes the collection as “luxury streetwear”.
“We agreed to it because we think it’s such a cool brand and think it will be an incredible collaboration,” he said.
“The fact that a disruptive designer like Demna [Gvasalia] would want to do something with our brand is a tremendous compliment.”
Although the collaboration is just a one-off at this stage, hilfiger is not ruling out working with the brand again: “Who knows what might happen in the future?”
Vetements is known for adding its subversive tweet to high street brands, from Levi’s and Champion to Carhartt an Dr Martens.
