Walking up the graveled path leading to the lush and beautifulVersailles-inspired courtyard that would set the stage for Tommy Hilfiger‘s Fall 2012 Women’s Collection, we could almost forget for a moment that the temperature last night was almost in the single digits.
Held in the Park Avenue Armory–Mr. Hilfiger always has to be contrary, sending legions of Lincoln Center and West Side Highway fashion throngs across town to the East side of Central Park–the show capped off a long, freezing and foodless Sunday, so forgive us if our account of the event (which was really like a short, beautiful period play) was a little hazy. Especially since we were almost lulled to sleep with the soothing Simon and Garfunkel soundtrack the accompanied the pre-show mingling, and was anachronistic in more ways than one.
