WHAT WE THOUGHT: You knew it had to be the end of fashion week when the typically surly photographers in the pit joyfully harmonized to Neil Diamond's "Sweet Caroline" as the glitterati and assorted media found their seats at Tommy Hilfiger. It wasn't just the last show of the week, but the final one to take place at Bryant Park: After an 18 year run, fashion week is moving to Lincoln Center. "It's bittersweet," Hilfiger told StyleList.
Hilfiger's last collection under the big tent was jam-packed with the all-American sportswear we've come to expect from the mega-brand. "New American classics remixed, preppy with a pop, luxury fabrics in casual styles" is how Hilfiger broke it down. On the runway those concepts translated into safe, yet stylish looks that will undoubtedly please his legions of fans. What's not to love about a cashmere hoodie, sleeveless trench coat, or leather sequined skirt, after all?
Nodding to a seasonal trend, the ubiquitous city short also made several appearances. According to the program notes this collection aimed to retrofit Tommy Hilfiger's preppy heritage from 1985 for a dynamic new decade: we declare his mission accomplished.
Now check out the Tommy Hilfiger runway hair and makeup.

A nice mix between classical pieces and modern trends. Vibrant colors and new proposals for the patterns. Put together accessories with personality and looks great.
