Since launching their collaboration in 2018, Tommy Hilfiger and Lewis Hamilton have taken their co-created collections across the world, starting in Shanghai with pit stops in Milan and Berlin. For the fourth installment of TommyXLewis, the duo decided it was time to bring it home, so to speak, back to London where Hamilton is from. A few days before the event, the stakes were raised once again with a surprise announcement: the new collection would include a three-way partnership with Gabriella Wilson, the Grammy-winning R&B singer known as H.E.R.
With Naomi Campbell leading the charge, the show at the Tate Modern tonight started on a resounding high note. Even in her downtime, the supermodel isn’t known to wear anything vaguely athletic, though she appeared surprisingly at ease in the brand’s new highlighter yellow and gray tracksuit, working her trademark strut in chunky high-top sneakers. Campbell wasn’t the only famous face in the lineup. There were a number of impressive cross-generational cameos: ’90s favorites Jodie Kidd, Yasmin Le Bon, and Erin O’Connor all walked the runway, as did newcomers such as Halima Aden and Lottie Moss, sister of Kate. In a week that has been sorely lacking in shape and age diversity, the casting was a refreshing change.
