RUNWAY: Tommy Hilfiger FW17

What a confusing time it is in fashion. American labels such as Tommy Hilfiger are showing a collection inspired by American culture in London during the SS18 show season but showing a FW17 collection. All the while collaborating with a supermodel. What of Hilfiger's FW17 then? It was musically inclined and seemed far more rooted in the Seattle grunge era of the 1990s than anywhere, or any time, else. Hilfiger's signature plaid patterns were torn and reassembled to make grungy shirts, as well as on all-plaid puffers or just patched on to one. The strongest pieces in the collection were the coats, especially an oversized military overcoat, which belied the inspiration and felt the most modern.
