TOMMY HILFIGER X VETEMENTS COLLABORATION
July 2 | Amsterdam, Netherlands
One of the many collaborations that Vetements is doing and has introduced during its spring/summer 2018 presentation is the one with American brand Tommy Hilfiger. Tommy Hilfiger himself confirmed this by posting on social media the photo of a model wearing a red hooded shirt that features both the Vetements and Tommy Hilfiger logos. The collaboration promises to present us with casual/sportswear-inclined pieces such as socks, beanies, t-shirts, and oversized shirts (duh, of course), and would be available in late fall.
