The Making Of Tommy Hilfiger’s Castaway SS16 Show

Come SS16, we’re all going on a holiday to Mustique...

We’re all going on a holiday to Mustique come SS16, if Tommy Hilfiger’s got anything to say about it.

His island girls (Hi Bella and Gigi Hadid, Hailey Baldwin and Stella Maxwell) are all crocheted up and ready for the beach in Caribbean-flavoured rainbow knits, flora-covered dresses and the most covetable string bikinis.

Wish you were here? Tommy’s references come straight from the turquoise waters of Jamaica, a fact that he demonstrated literally with his enormous castaway set (because only Mr Hilfiger could transport a palm topped beach hut to the middle of autumnal Manhattan.)

For his finale, Gigi and co marched through the waters, Baywatch style, confirming the entire collection as our dream SS16 holiday wardrobe.
