Named Preppy With a Pop, the collection channeled a girl the show notes described as a young Katharine Hepburn, someone combining an East Coast pedigree with a touch of sass. It takes sass to wear your camel shawl-collared cardie over a skirt made of gray leather paillettes, or to pull on a pair of OTK duck boots. The collection ably ticked off Hilfiger's checklist of classics (the peacoat, the trench, the pencil skirt), but now they had a youthful little twist. Something entirely new? No, but a welcome and necessary refresh.
Who knew Tommy Hilfiger could be so hip? I had come to expect flags and americana, but this collection was classic with modern updates; over the knee duck boots sound PERFECT for Cornell weather. "East Coast pedigree?".....I've never been so proud to go to an ivy league school. Sad? maybe.
I can definitely see the Katherine Hepburn in all the pleated bottoms. Also, I've totally been digging preppy looks recently. Note to self: buy navy-grey sheer-opaque tights and wear them with EVERYTHING.
