FALL WINTER 2022.23 COLLECTIONS
WELCOME TO TOMMY FACTORY – THE MAKING OF A FASHION SHOW. A homecoming to our creative heart, this Fall 2022 we pay tribute to Andy Warhol’s iconic NYC factory, where he brought together fashion, art, music and entertainment. From our new TH Monogram designed in partnership with Fergus Purcell to our boundary-breaking collaboration with British designer, Richard Quinn, this Fall we’re colliding the classic with the new to light up what’s next. Remixing traditional Americana codes with a contemporary, streetwear-inspired twist. Clashing bold pop colors, reimagining proportions and restyling heritage classics in unexpected ways. This is modern prep, for all. An inclusive celebration of pop culture and creativity, across all worlds from IRL to URL – this is Tommy Factory. – Tommy Hilfiger
A curated cast of next-generation photographers, videographers and artists created live art at the show and gave audiences full access to backstage preparations of the show – including hair, make-up, first looks and set design.
