British designer Richard Quinn has partnered with Tommy Hilfiger to create a limited edition capsule collection that brings together the iconic styles of both brands.
Richard Quinn, who is known for his “iconoclastic” DNA has created a series of gender-inclusive looks that are full of drama and bold design.
Co-designed by Tommy Hilfiger and Richard Quinn, who received the inaugural Queen Elizabeth II Award for British Design in 2018, the collection intermixes Quinn’s signature use of bold patterns and exaggerated silhouettes with Hilfiger’s iconic take on American classics.
The capsule feature 40 pieces including Tommy Hilfiger statements such as the varsity jacket, chino, 5-pocket jean and leather jacket.
The designs are inspired by a range of cultural archetypes, including punk, explorer, cheerleader and jock, offering a playful expression on classic styles.
The newly launched “TH Monogram,” which reflects the spirit of innovation at the heart of the TOMMY HILFIGER brand, is remixed with Quinn’s signature daisy design and emblazoned onto puffer jackets, pea coats, athletic backpacks and holdalls.
A varsity jacket is decorated with unique motifs that combine Quinn’s daisy with emblems of Collegiate and Americana style. An iconic English rose pattern appears on formal trousers, billowing outerwear and classic tailoring in Scottish Tartan.
“I’ve always been inspired by working with creatives who push boundaries, and Richard is no exception,” said Tommy Hilfiger. “We’ve brought together our two distinct aesthetics to create a rebellious take on modern Prep. It’s unexpected and optimistic, and reflects the playful spirit at the heart of both our brands.”
Richard Quinn adds; “Tommy and I share the same obsession for prints and textiles, so it was a natural joy to balance and combine our visions for this collaboration. It was inspiring to dive into Tommy’s archives and find the iconic pieces that became the canvases for our co-creation. We pushed ourselves to be dramatic and vibrant with every detail — in the pursuit of progress — and the final pieces do not disappoint.”
