TOMMYXTIMBERLAND: A CLASH OF TWO ICONS

Bringing together the hallmark American DNA of Tommy Hilfiger and Timberland's authentic outdoor and work aesthetic, the first drop of the TommyxTimberland collection consists of 17 hybrid pieces that echo the colorful style and hip-hop scene of the Nineties. Transitional layering blends style, weather-resistance and warmth in parkas and varsity jackets. Multi-functional garments, such as the zip-off carpenter pants, the two-in-one reversible varsity jacket and the voluminous recycled parka, are designed for an active, outdoor lifestyle. The cult Timberland lace-up lug boot is remixed with Hilfiger's flag and zip detailing. The color wheel also reflects the two brands' most historical shades in a medley of wheat and orange matched to red, white and blue, and topped by a fresh new hybrid logo. “This partnership with Timberland has been such a creative adventure for me and a long time coming,” said Tommy Hilfiger. “Diving into our archives and reliving that optimistic, ‘anything is possible’ energy of the ‘90s along with Timberland was a great and nostalgic experience. Culture shaped our brands, and in turn we shaped the fashion landscape of the time.” Christopher Raeburn, Global Creative Director of Timberland notes how the power of collaboration taps into the best each brand has to offer, pushing the boundaries to create something radically different. “The pieces we created in this first drop are instantly recognizable as Timberland and Tommy. It’s like a cultural memory book, seen through a progressive lens,” he said.
