AT THE TOMMY HILFIGER SELECT CITYWALK STORE
To commemorate his brand’s 10th anniversary in India, Mr. Hilfiger introduced limited-edition designs inspired by a fusion of Americana heritage and Indian tradition.
WHO: The Tommy Hilfiger Group, which is wholly owned by PVH Corp. [NYSE: PVH], is pleased to announce that American fashion designer Tommy Hilfiger hosted an exclusive press event with acclaimed Bollywood actress Sonam Kapoor at the Tommy Hilfiger Select Citywalk store in New Delhi on September 27. Following their red carpet arrival, Mr. Hilfiger and Ms. Kapoor posed for photos and conducted interviews with press. The event is part of an ongoing program of festivities in New Delhi and Mumbai to commemorate the Tommy Hilfiger brand’s 10th anniversary in India.
“Over the years I have visited India many times and have always been inspired by the country’s rich culture and eclectic design tradition,” said Tommy Hilfiger on the red carpet. “I’m very excited to be back for this milestone occasion to celebrate our brand’s 10th anniversary in India.”
“I am excited to be here with Tommy to celebrate his brand’s 10th anniversary in India,” said Sonam Kapoor at the event. “Tommy’s signature preppy with a twist style and Americana inspirations are iconic – his collections are always undeniably classic, American and cool.”
Mr. Hilfiger launched two limited-edition designs to commemorate the 10 year anniversary: a shawl for women and traditional bandi for men. The iconic Indian garments have been reinterpreted with Tommy Hilfiger’s signature preppy spirit and fuse the brand’s Americana style with India’s strong tradition of celebratory dress.
The wool shawl incorporates a sophisticated white paisley jacquard on a navy blue base, contrasted with the brand’s signature red, white and navy multi-stripe design on the reverse side. Both prints are trimmed with the brand’s interlocking TH monogram jacquard. The men’s bandi – available in both classic navy suede and beige suede styles – is inspired by the fusion of Tommy Hilfiger’s iconic prep aesthetic with traditional Indian tailoring. Signature details, including contrast stitching, monogram buttons and an interior stripe lining, complete the celebratory style and make for a youthful yet timeless look.
The limited-edition designs are now available exclusively at select Tommy Hilfiger stores throughout India, including the Tommy Hilfiger Select Citywalk location.
