Tommy Hilfiger Celebrates His Love Story With East Coast Style In National Advertising Campaign
NEW YORK, Jul 13, 2001/ -- Following on the heels of his
well-received "Love Story" inspired collections for the season, Tommy
Hilfiger's national advertising campaign for men's and women's sportswear
salutes his youthful all-American spirit, his unique New England sensibility
and his fresh take on a misty blue ocean palette.
An idyllic fall beach
getaway for two amidst a cool breeze provides the ultimate scene for
encapsulating the timeless, relaxed appeal of Hilfiger's designs.
"I spent most of my life on the East Coast and it's where I feel most at
home," said Tommy Hilfiger. "Although we are a global brand, I like how this
campaign captures the essence of the all-American New England lifestyle. It
has a relaxed Ivy League feeling combined with the spirit and energy
representative of the Tommy Hilfiger brand."
Renowned photographer Carter Smith shot the images of models Carmen Kass
and Jason Shaw. The ads, which were created by Deutsch NY, capture the
twosome in a playful array of treasured, easy moments -- strolling hand in
hand on the sand, splashing animatedly in the waves and embracing on a plaid
picnic blanket -- simply enjoying a seasonably crisp afternoon.
The steamy
blue and grey peaks of the water, combined with the neutral appeal of the sand
and rocks, perfectly complement the navy, ivory, cardinal and heathered grey
of Hilfiger's collection.
Mario Testino shot the licensed product campaigns,
including intimates, robes and sleepwear, men's underwear, eyewear and
sunwear.
The advertising campaign is set to break in the New York Times Fashion of
the Times in August, followed closely by September books including Vogue,
Harper's Bazaar, GQ, Esquire, Maxim, Elle and In Style, among others.
A major
outdoor transit campaign will debut in October in New York City and will
include wall units, billboards, king bus posters, bus shelters and phone
kiosks.
