Tommy Hilfiger X Timberland Collaboration Arrives 

The first drop of TommyXTimberland was released today. The eagerly anticipated collection features apparel, footwear and accessories. The classic Timberland 6-inch boot is included and remixed with the iconic Tommy Hilfiger flag with added zip detailing. The 17-piece hybrid capsule  pays homage to the signature styles of ‘90s.

“This partnership with Timberland has been such a creative adventure for me and a long time coming,” said Hilfiger. “Diving into our archives and reliving that optimistic, ‘anything is possible’ energy of the ‘90s along with Timberland was a great and nostalgic experience. Culture shaped our brands, and in turn we shaped the fashion landscape of the time.”

 

“The power of collaboration is bringing the best each brand has to offer, then pushing boundaries to create something radically different, together,” said Christopher Raeburn, global creative director, Timberland. “The pieces we created in this first drop are instantly recognizable as Timberland and Tommy. It’s like a cultural memory book, seen through a progressive lens.”

The campaign was shot by photographer and multi-disciplinary collage artist Jack Greer (@iggy.nyc), and videographer  Malt Disney. The next drop comes out in November.

Chrissy Teigen opens up on the Today show in first TV interview since scandal

Chrissy Teigen got candid in an interview with Hoda Kotb on the Today show this morning. It was the first time she talked publicly since cyber bullying accusations surfaced this past summer.  Courtney Stodden (who uses they/them pronouns) described cruel tweets and direct messages they received from Teigen when they were still a teenager in a May story published by The Daily Beast.

Teigen is now grateful for the experience and is working on self improvement.

“I think you learn so much in the moments where you do lose so much, you lose it all, your world is kind of turned upside down,” Teigen  said. “For me it was a big moment of, ‘Wow, I need to find out how I can be better, how I can grow from this, learn from this.’”

She continued: “There’s that old cliché, like, I’m glad it happened, but truly it made me a stronger person, a better person.”

“Having this period of time to digest it all and to look back and to realize that honestly there’s always so much time to grow and to learn and to become more empathetic,” she said. “I look at my kids and I look at what I want their values to be and how I want them to treat people, and to see that in myself that I wasn’t doing that.”

Teigen also revealed she’s now sober. “I’m actually a hundred days sober today and I’m so excited,” Teigen told Kotb. “I feel so good, I feel very clear-headed. I feel like I’ve done the work and I just hope these people can forgive and be able to welcome the fact that hopefully they’ve seen me be better.”

Teigen told Kotb she had not gone more than a day or two without alcohol since she started drinking in her early 20s.
