The new American aesthetic of the Tommy x Timberland capsule We talked about it with Tommy Hilfiger, Christopher Raeburn and Lee Holman

«If you look back at some of the most iconic pop culture images of the ‘90s», recounted Tommy Hilfiger «[our] products were often paired with Timberland boots». A whole series of influences that the new Tommy Hilfiger x Timberland capsule has captured by bringing together two fashion icons of those years combining the New York hip-hop style with the preppy suggestions originated in the colleges of the Ivy Leage with the street cred of the Bronx and Harlem. A nostalgia for that casual-cool style of American high schools that is back in a big way in 2021 – a year in which, as an anonymous Twitter user wrote, «everybody dresses like the cool teenager they wanted to be in the 90s». And in those years the intuition of Hilfiger himself together with the utility appeal of Timberland created a unique mixture: «Culture shaped our brands», continued Hilfiger, «and in turn we shaped the fashion landscape of the time». A heritage that this year, on the basis of the wave of nostalgia for American style that began with the Met Gala, has come back to life with the dialogue of the two brands or, as Lee Holman, Chief Design Officer of Tommy Hilfiger, defined it, their «clash».

The first drop of the TommyxTimberland Fall 2021 collection will be available from tomorrow online on the Timberland and Tommy Hilfiger websites and in the official stores of both brands. The second drop is instead set for November 9th.
