The collection showcased billowing dresses sport lush flora and fauna patterns, tropical hued patchwork and vibrant stripes and denim jackets and faded chinos with beaded tapes and whipstitched borders. Hlfiger also reinvented the traditional cricket sweater in homespun crochet while polos were done in netted mesh, and oxford shirts were personalized with embroidered eyelet.
