Tommy Hilfiger’s Prep City line for Spring/Summer 12 is described as sophisticated, with a touch of spontaneity |
Tommy Hilfiger will present its Spring/Summer 2012 menswear collection dubbed Prep World at the TFWA Asia Pacific show in May (Stand number H4).
Inspired by the globe-trotting adventures of The Hilfigers, the diverse collection mixes classic prep style with cultural inspiration from across the globe, the US fashion company said.
The Prep City line is inspired by Tommy Hilfiger’s home city of New York. Metropolitan and sophisticated, but with a touch of spontaneity, it combines classic Tommy red, white and blue with striking orange and green pop highlights.
Casual and classic combine for a relaxed look where chinos and denim form the basis of preppy outfits. In outerwear, chunky toggled fasteners close heavyweight cardigans with shawl collars.
Sporty stripes aim to bring a playful feel, while in shirts, patterns are fresh and slim silhouettes lend their energy to this cityesque collection.
Weekend days in the country, at sporting events such as the races, are the theme for the second line, Prep Weekend. This colourful look is grounded with olive, white and midnight blue.
Stylish shorts combine sportily with deconstructed blazers that are washed and soft in appearance, worn like a shirt. Polo-shirts are wardrobe essentials over which bright, lightweight sweaters are layered and finished with casual olive airfield jackets.

A high-class camping trip is the inspiration for the third collection, Prep Camp, which blends utility and functional elements with chic, preppy details.
Sun-bleached colours, including beige or white, are mixed with pop red and yellow highlights, while checks brighten the mix and choice of fabrics. Cool new details are seen on pockets of plain shirts that are chic and classy, the company said. Garment-dyed T-shirts and polos complete the camping classics look.
