Tommy Hilfiger has lined up a special preview of its Autumn & Winter 2016 Kid’s Collection this Friday at its store in City Centre Bahrain.
The action starts at 5pm and FashionWeekly readers are invited to bring their children along for special treats and a chance to get photographed in the new outfits. The store is also giving away free beach bags on purchases of BD75 or more.
“All this and much more will certainly set you off on a shopping spree. Go for it!” said marketing manager Bharti Bhatia of Bahrain Apparel Trading who brought the popular designer store to the kingdom.
The collection, Welcome to America, sets sail on a transatlantic journey to New York City in the 1920s. Heritage favourites are reimagined through a playful lens that’s sophisticated, optimistic and fun.
From vintage references to nautical influences, old world culture meets new world confidence and the signature look is effortlessly relaxed and cool, with a modern feel that’s fresh, cozy and clean.
FashionWeekly has had a sneak preview of the collection and here are some of the items to look out for.
