Tommy Hilfiger returning to Bryant Park
Submitted by stsmith1 on 12/29/2008 - 12:04
After recent reports that Temperley and Vera Wang were sitting out the season under the tents at New York's Fashion Week in February, Tommy Hilfiger says he's back in, said IMG Fashion, which runs the shows, in a recent statement.
It's been three years since Hilfiger showed at the tents. So this will likely be a big-time blow-out show. He'll pick up a pretty prime time slot as well, taking Wang's traditional time on Feb. 19 at 10 a.m.
"We are thrilled to welcome Tommy Hilfiger back to the tents of Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week,” said Fern Mallis of IMG Fashion. “In this upcoming season when America will be taking center stage, Tommy brings a unique American style to the runways of Bryant Park."Â
