For FOO AND FOO’s Fall ‘23 collection, Elizabeth Hilfiger draws from her childhood, being raised between New York City and Nantucket, feeling like an outsider in both worlds. Fall ‘23 is an actualization of her memories, unapologetically tangling heritage nautical codes with FOO AND FOO’s irreverent take on Americana. There are no rules, as she plays with proportions, applying feminine techniques to masculine silhouettes, and vice versa.
Utilitarian designs on everyday pieces are at the heart of the brand. Vintage striped tees have been patched together giving them new life as a dress or added as layering. Deadstock peacoats can be converted into
backpacks, or have added buttons and proportions for inventive styling. Upcycled cable knit sweaters have FOO AND FOO logos and shoulder pads added for a second life.
Classic FOO AND FOO denim styles are mostly kept raw, with ruching added to create unexpected fits. The Boner Jacket and Multi-loop Jeans have a rusty wash that’s reflective of decaying seaside elements.
There’s more playfulness with the collaboration from tattoo artist, David Enth, where tattooed bodies are applied as Trompe l’oeil prints on tees, hoodies and sweats–like pieces you’d find at a boardwalk shop.
A hand-crafted print was made by Elizabeth and applied as a repeating pattern to stretch fabric. Mineral washes of blues and pinks have been applied to fleece pieces and more vivid hues of orange on denim–which bring youthful energy to the collection. Checkered school skirts have been altered and hand studded by Elizabeth with nautical icon patterns.
