Tommy Hilfiger Catwalk Fashion Show New York Womenswear FW2014

After spring’s surf-and-sand theme, Tommy Hilfiger created another impressive set by transforming the Park Avenue Armory into a rugged wintry scene with mountains capped in fake snow, ski lodges and a wooden path as runway. This was an all-American scene, down to the first riffs of the soundtrack: Neil Young’s ‘Cinnamon Girl’.

Then came the parade of models in a variety of outfits that were fun and feisty in attitude: a striped plaid shirt with a matching ruffled skirt, a youthful shirtdress in a Technicolor check.

The outerwear was equally strong, delivering a cool spin to mountaineering staples. Even Hilfiger himself took his bow dressed in a vest, woodsy plaid shirt, jeans and hiking boots. His models, meanwhile, worked an utterly charming take on the motif — all plaids, puffers and teddy fur and pom-pom beanies.
