Hilfiger’s guests included Jack Harlow and Jeremy O. Harris in custom TOMMY HILFIGER.
WHAT: Tommy and Dee Hilfiger attended the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute Benefit on September 13, 2021 in New York City to celebrate the opening of Part One – In America: A Lexicon of Fashion. The exhibition demonstrates a new expression of American fashion, focusing on how clothing can evoke deeper social and emotional connections. The evening was co-chaired by Timothée Chalamet, Billie Eilish, Amanda Gorman, and Naomi Osaka, with Tom Ford, Adam Mosseri, and Anna Wintour as honorary chairs.
Tommy Hilfiger was joined by fashion designer and wife, Dee Hilfiger, GRAMMY-nominated, multi-platinum rapper, Jack Harlow and Tony-nominated playwright and actor, Jeremy O. Harris.
“Fashion has always been influenced by the world around it, but it underwent one of its biggest transformations in the wake of the unprecedented events last year,” said Tommy Hilfiger. “As designers and brands, we had to completely rethink who we are and what we stand for. What has inspired me on this journey of rebuilding is the opportunity to create a more sustainable, equitable and inclusive future for the next generation of fashion. Tonight, being reunited with the rest of our industry, I was reminded that our collective efforts will make that future possible.”
Friends and followers of the TOMMY HILFIGER brand are invited to join the conversation using @TommyHilfiger and #TommyHilfiger on Instagram and Twitter.
