Fashion Week spring 2010: Tommy Hilfiger

NEW YORK (AP) — New York Fashion Week ended on a high note Thursday night, with Tommy Hilfiger sending out a strong spring collection and filling his front row with celebrities that sent photographers into a frenzy, even after eight days of shooting front-row celebrities.
Taylor Swift set off the most flashbulbs just days after the flap with Kanye West at the VMAs, but Naomi Watts, Mary Louise Parker and Rosario Dawson also captured a lot of attention.
The clothes on the runway deserved notice too: Hilfiger’s theme was the “relaxed glamour” of a Southern California boardwalk, which meant a surprisingly cohesive mix of crisp nautical looks and disco-era slinky styles.
The opening look featured a robelike swing coat in a dusty rose silk with a complementary button-down blouse — that was, indeed, mostly unbuttoned — and his finale was a one-shouldered draped goddess gown in white jersey.
In between were a navy pinstripe, double-breasted suit with gold buttons, and a white-and-navy zigzag strapless minidress that looked like it was covered in a ship’s flags.
The jacket-and-shorts set that very well might become the hot womenswear suit for fall was done nicely with a champagne-colored silk bomber, khaki pleated shorts and a silk tank with gold trim. If you’re not sold on the shorts suit, there was also the option of a tan suede blazer, khaki pleated trousers and a peach-colored silk hoodie blouse.

Hilfiger also includes menswear in his show, and the trends included fuller, shorter pants, and shirts worn open to show a flash of skin.
“Dreamt up for a lifestyle that is as chic as it is casual, the clothes are unpretentious but captivating. … Like the beauty of the Pacific, the collection is a paradox of soothing and stimulating,” he said in his notes left for the retailers, editors and stylists, many of whom now go off to London, Paris and Milan, Italy, to get a full grasp of trends for next season.
