LOS ANGELES\u2014The thick fog hanging over Venice Beach did little to disrupt Tommy Hilfiger’s carnival-esque runway show co-created by and featuring supermodel Gigi Hadid.<\/p>\n

Hadid helped pick out the models, the music and the clothes for the TommyXGigi collection \u2014 and she walked the beachside runway first and last Wednesday, cheered by her family and Lady Gaga along the way.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe clothes themselves are inspired by Southern California, inspired by Gigi, and really suited for this type of lifestyle,\u201d Hilfiger said in an interview.<\/p>\n

The collection featured blocks of bright colour, American flags and a mix of halter tops and flowing summer dresses.<\/p>\n

Hilfiger called the 21-year-old Hadid \u201cthe ‘It girl of today\u201d and praised her sense of style. His brand has made a comeback in recent years with such partnerships and by embracing youth culture\u2014and nostalgia.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt’s really a new dynamic, with social media, with e-commerce shopping, with ‘buy now, wear now.’ It’s a whole new ballgame. Everything has changed. And everything is changing very rapidly,\u201d the 65-year-old designer said.<\/p>\n

Lady Gaga\u2014who took cellphone photos and waved to Hadid during the show\u2014and Cindy Crawford’s children, Kaia and Presley Gerber, were among the celebrities on hand. Fergie performed after the show.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
