Eerily similar to Nigo's Kenzo vision (which obviously adapted many things from Tommy's and Ralph Lauren's preppy aesthetic). The TH logo looks like the TB logo Tisci did for Burberry too. I grew very tired looking at the collection by the third look with all the varsity polos, rugby jumpers and pull overs so I'm not that impressed.
What is even more pointless is the Richard Quinn collab stuff. Like why? Knockoff Demna's Vetements/Balenciaga floral overload, Takashi Murakami and Leigh Bowery done by Gareth Pugh. Why is he appreciated so much when everything he has done is a derivative mess!?!?
I know Tommy has never been about driving fashion forward but this feels already done and dated.
Today, the trickle down effect from the runway to the street is almost immediate. The potential client for this already has the versions of the inspirations from Zara, Shein, IG brands and others designers.
Tommy should have tapped into his core aesthetic in a more intelligent way. That’s why Ralph Lauren is always above everything. He will stick to his vision while doing the items that will be appropriated by people. A Polo Ralph Lauren Vest will always be presented in a preppy way but the vision will be strong enough for a hypebeast to take it and use it in his own way…
This looks like a bunch of clothes that will be send to influencers.
Utterly soulless, utterly lifeless and so utterly insincere in its color-by-numbers pandering. It’s the brand of slop conjured by a corporate committee to appeal to the twittermob to sell merch.
Here is a great title for the collection: “Preppy Cringe”. I mean, is he- or whoever designed the actual collection- joking with those last three looks?
