The exclusive Tommy x Awake NY collection is already a contemporary streetwear staple.

Through Angelo Baque’s cultural heritage and Tommy Hilfiger’s vintage archive, the collection puts a latent sense of Nostalgia at the center, while maintaining a contemporary approach, targeting younger communities and cultures. The capsule is genderless and built around the Tommy T-shirt on which the inscription, “Don’t accept cheap imitations,” emerges with a fun attitude, the two brands stay true to their authentic selves, a key aspect for both.

Queens Nostalgia is an ode to the neighborhood that gave birth to Angelo Baque and the 1990s decade during which street style merged with Preppy elegance, courtesy of Tommy Hilfiger.
