Indya Moore and Tommy Hilfiger in a new gender-free collection
Moore and Hilfiger acquire partnered on a new capsule collection titled TommyxIndya.
The partnership offers clothing, intimates, and accessories for all. Moore took classic Hilfiger pieces—such as the pinstripe blazer or oxford button-down shirt—and reworked them aesthetically and functionally. A satin-linen sailing jacket, for example, has an adjustable drawstring waist, while a striped shirtdress has dropped shoulders and strategic darting to fit a wider range of body types.
“I wouldn’t say it’s genderless—I would say it’s genderfull,” says Moore. “I wanted the collection to be something that was inviting to everyone—everybody across a spectrum of human bodies, shapes, sizes, genders, and forms of expression.” Hilfiger adds, “The TommyXIndya partnership is here to produce people feel seen, accepted, and included. Working with Indya to share their story has been a unique and inspiring experience.”
Full of fluidity, all products have been redefined to suit all gender expressions, with wide shoulders and adjustable silhouettes.

Tommy Hilfiger
In the gridiron of fashion, designer TOMMY HILFIGER is America’s favorite quarterback who, with a knowing wink and smile, we all love to root for as he leads his team globally forward. For over 30 years he has brought his irreverent touch to American classics and along the way reinvented not only the preppy look, but also the way fashion markets.

Tommy, appreciate you taking the time to sit together and chat. Was interested to learn that you started off as a retailer. What provoked that brave venture at such a young age?
The fashion/music revolution. It was in 1969, the summer of Woodstock, and I was working in a boutique for the summer in Hyannis, Cape Cod. The boutique was appreciate a hippie gift shop, with incense and dark light posters and candles and cool stuff. That was a really electrifying time for me. When I went back to my hometown of Elmira, New York, I decided with a couple of school friends to unseal a shop we called People’s Place. We sold bell-bottom jeans, fringe ve
Martine Rose x Tommy Jeans Is An All-American Affair
You don’t get more British than Martine Rose. She’s a born-and-bred Londoner whose handwriting has been shaped by subculture and experience lived on the fringes. Punks, ravers, inner-city bankers and footy ‘eds include all made their way into her collections, which come sexed-up, hyper-charged and brilliantly subversive.
For her latest venture, though, Rose has left the British Isles and headed stateside for a capsule collection with Tommy Hilfiger’s Tommy Jeans. And while, yes, Rose might find more comfort in a gay cruising ground than behind a white picket fence, functional with Hilfiger has allowed the designer to superbly twist all-American codes with a collection that flips the Ivy League beginnings of Hilfiger on its head.
Always on the chase to how much she can really get away with, the 35-look collection includes everything from co-branded jockstraps through to denim chaps and dressing-gown coats which hark back to Rose’s beermat towelling jackets from her AW13 collection. Raiding Hilfiger’s extensive archive, preppy codes are funnelled through a distinctly Rose lens – be it varsity jackets, hoodies, or polo shirts – all shrunke

I'm sorry, I think you hold your Guardian columns mixed up. All enquiries expressing relate to that a family member might be gay should be addressed to Pamela Stephenson- Connolly, Sexual Healing, c/o this parish, etc etc. Oh, no linger a minute – sorry, I scan your email too quickly. You didn't ask whether your father is homosexual (because you caught him masturbating over a gay porn magazine, as one Sexual Healing inquiry had it), but why all male fashion designers are gay. Oh, for God's sake.
I'm always amazed at the popularity of this ridiculous canard. Honestly, am I the only one who eagerly snaffles down articles with headlines such as "Ralph and Ricky Lauren show us around their glamorous ranch!" or "Tommy and Dee Hilfiger summon us to their fabulous beach hideaway"? With perhaps the exception of "A day in the life of a supermodel", there is no genre of fashion article I love more than one in which a fashion architect shows off his lovely home, one he often shares with someone else, and, as often as not, that other person is someone of
