In the 1980s, Tommy Hilfiger and Keith Haring shared a common dream: to democratise art and fashion. That desire was translated into the visual artist’s message that “art is for everyone” and embodied in his iconic pop shop at 292 Lafayette Street. A unique energy that not only laid the foundation for Tommy Hilfiger‘s DNA, but crossed the boundaries of time to continue to inspire today.

This same energy is immortalised in the new Tommy x Keith Haring collection, where Haring‘s graphic expression permeates the most iconic pieces that fuse fashion and art and pay homage to hip-hop culture and New York City. A selection of 30 silhouettes for men and women, including a wool bomber jacket, a unisex denim jacket, a sleeveless dress, vintage knitwear, graphic tees, intervention shorts and accessories.

“Keith Haring is a New York icon and represents the creative spirit of the city. We share his commitment to inclusivity, self-expression and spreading optimism. This collection channels that positivity and brings Keith’s unmistakable energy to today’s preppy,” says Tommy Hilfiger himself.

The campaign images, captured by Elliot Kennedy, show the influence of the artist and the pop-art movement through textured overlays of paint, marker and chalk that recall his multidisciplinary and DIY style.

Tommy x Keith Haring is now available on tommy.com as well as in the brand’s physical shops and selected retailers.
