WHAT WE THOUGHT: Although the preppy market is Tommy Hilfiger's bread and butter, this season he presented his classics with a rock 'n' roll twist. The '70s music scene is a designer's dream idiom to work within, and Hilfiger his mark with clothes that oozed laid-back style. The vibe rang true for everything from the silk pajama-top-and-pants combos to various check and pinstripe suits. Modern-day Bianca Jaggers, strut your stuff.
