Supermodel Gigi Hadid is on fire right now, blazing magazine covers and headlines with her celebrity relationship statuses, killer curves and career aspirations.
Things are about to get even hotter for the 21-year-old as she gets ready to launch her first collaborative ‘capsule collection’ in September with nautical-inspired label Tommy Hilfiger.
Gigi, born Jelena Noura to a Palestinian-American real estate mogul and Dutch model mother, is excited about the collaboration. She said: “I never thought I would be asked to design a capsule collection, so it still feels like a dream that Tommy approached me to collaborate.”
The timeless line features women’s sportswear, footwear and accessories including watches, sunglasses and THE GIRL fragrance, which was launched on July 15.
According to the designers, the collection celebrates Gigi’s take on modern style, fused with Hilfiger’s signature ‘classic American cool’ heritage.
Gigi, Tommy Hilfiger’s brand ambassador since December last year, also told reporters: “The collection mixes a little bit of everything with styles that are really hippie-chic, styles that are sporty street wear and styles that are tomboy but girly.”
Seafaring staples are recreated with clean cuts and embellishments including big buttons, naval badges, embroideries and sailor stripes. Sporty-chic silhouettes are modernised with feminine chiffons, cosy cable-knits and sleek leathers. The look is meant to be effortless, youthful and cool which is Gigi’s new take on nautical with a playful, romantic edge.
Other essential pieces include flared denim, ripped jeans and maxi dresses.
The autumn TommyXGigi collection will be launched on September 1 and its global premiere on the runway will take place on September 9 during New York Fashion Week. It will be open to the public and live-streamed on tommy.com.
Tommy Hilfiger, which has a store at City Centre Bahrain, is one of the world’s most recognised designer lifestyle brands focusing on men’s tailored clothing and sportswear, women’s collection apparel and sportswear, kids wear, denim collections, underwear, including robes, sleepwear and loungewear, footwear and accessories.
