Tommy Hilfiger to Show at New York Fashion Week on MV John F. Kennedy Ferry
Tommy Hilfiger will return to New York Fashion Week for his spring 2025 show on Sept. 8 at 6:30 p.m. The show will take place aboard the MV John F. Kennedy, a decommissioned ferry.
Originally, Hilfiger was not on the official CFDA schedule that was released last week. NYFW runs Sept. 6 through 11.
âNew York City is the birthplace of the American dream, and the Staten Island Ferry represents the gateway to self-expression for so many across history,â said Tommy Hilfiger. âBy hosting this yearâs show aboard the MV John F. Kennedy, we will celebrate the quintessential New York City landmark, while writing our nautical-inspired codes firmly into the vesselâs iconic legacy,â he said.
Last February, Hilfiger returned to NYFW with a show at Grand Centralâs Oyster Bar. The show featured Questlove as his DJ and Jon Batiste during the finale.
The ferry, named after John F. Kennedy, shuttled commuters between Manhattan and Staten Island from 1965 until August 2021. It was recently purchased by Pete Davidson and Colin Jost to be converted into an entertainment venue.
Hilfigerâs firm stated the ferryâs original interiors will serve as the perfect stage for the fashion show, marking a farewell to its past role and celebrating its future transformation.
Hilfigerâs show will no longer be see now, buy now, aligning once again with the traditional fashion calendar. The preliminary NYFW schedule features over 60 confirmed runway shows and designer presentations.
Designers showing during NYFW include Michael Kors, Tory Burch, Carolina Herrera, Khaite, Jason Wu, Sergio Hudson, 3.1 Phillip Lim, Brandon Maxwell, and LaQuan Smith. Ralph Lauren and Proenza Schouler will also present their collections during the event.
Other designers showing on Tommy Hilfigerâs date, Sept. 8, include Ulla Johnson, PHS, Off-White, Jason Wu Collection, Sandy Liang, Bach Mai, 3.1 Phillip Lim, and Eckhaus Latta.
