Tommy Hilfiger takes commuting to another level with the 2024 New York Fashion Week show taking place on an old Staten Island Ferry.
Tommy Hilfiger goes nautical on Staten Island Ferry in 2024 NYFW show
Tommy Hilfiger loves celebrating New York City and its landmarks. He also loves a nautical theme – and a big surprise.
So for his New York Fashion Week show on Sunday night, the designer brought all those elements together in his typically splashy way, inviting guests aboard a decommissioned ferry boat and giving them not only a runway show but a rap-filled finale.
The live musical performance, which electrified the fashion crowd, featured Ghostface Killah, Method Man, and Raekwon from Staten Island’s own Wu-Tang clan weaving through the runways and seats as they sang. The soundtrack was curated by Questlove, who also served as DJ for Hilfiger’s February show at the Oyster Bar in Grand Central Station.
« We’re inspired by nautical this season », Hilfiger told The Associated Press before the show. « But it’s nautical, preppy, collegiate, all-American and modern.
