The Tommy X Gigi collection has been designed by Tommy Hilfiger in collaboration with supermodel Gigi Hadid, the brand’s global womenswear ambassador.

“Gigi Hadid is one of the world’s top models and most-followed fashion influencers, and we are thrilled to welcome her to the Tommy family,” said Tommy Hilfiger. “Our collaborative collection is a new take on nautical with a playful, romantic edge. It has been a true partnership – Gigi and I worked closely together on each and every element; she was completely honest throughout the process and the results are a reflection of her passion and creativity.”
