A cross between royal livery and military uniforms, the Tommy Hilfiger AW12 collection is elegantly refined and impeccably tailored. Channeling the British blue-blooded allure that was ignited earlier last year due to the marriage of Kate Middleton and Prince Charles, the fashion line is much more subdued that other similarly inspired collections.
Although innately feminine, the masculine qualities found throughout the Tommy Hilfiger AW12 collection add a strength and severity that can be appreciated in powerful women. Nevertheless, the ensembles are still very womanly and demure. The overall palette of dark blues, purples and reds are livened up by a few mustard outfits that bring a dash of bright color to the fall designs.
The leather, wool and satin ensembles in the Tommy Hilfiger AW12 collection were debuted during New York Fashion Week.
