Yesterday's most talked about show was no doubt, Tommy Hilfiger. His Fall 2015 collection, which also doubles as the 30th anniversary of the powerhouse, was an ode to Hilfiger's All-American, iconic brand. With what else other than football and the country's expressive period of the 70s? The runway turned stadium was the perfect setting to the old-school prep attire that was mixed with nouveau Letterman jackets, toggle-coats, and rich knits colored cognac and camel that resulted in a unique and relevant nod to the 70s-prep of Ivy League Friday night lights.
The models (which included an impressive team of Gigi, Jourdan, Liu, and co.) sported Ali McGraw inspired hair and makeup which added a California touch to the collection. As the collection was inspired by America's favorite pastime, the football lace-up booties are sure to become the next "It" thing.
Tommy's (field) goal for the collection was to take something from the past and apply it to what works in fashion today. In this case, we see who the new QB is.
With the absurd amount of time I spend surfing the inter-web, I come across my fair share of brands and companies. One that really caught my late-night eyes was Emerson Fry. Based out of New Hampshire, the all-American brand matches my minimalistic style to the t. No surprise that they also have incredible shoes like these snakeskin slides- I'm having a big moment with slides, but still avoiding those little Birks.
As I've been on the hunt for a graduation dress, I've oddly learned what my personal style has evolved into- minimal with unique details and the perfect mix of classic and edgy. As cheesy as that may sound, Emerson Fry embodies that effortless style that those Frenchies have, but with an Americana vibe. Alas, I cannot exactly pinpoint what makes EF feel so, for the lack of a better word, "cool", but who doesn't like a little mystery? A woman can never have enough denim- add these jeans to your wardrobe or wait for their swimwear that is coming out later this season.
Looking good at the beach is quite the difficult task if you ask me, but don't fret anymore.
Until then, shop your heart out kids:
