Tommy Taps Tems, the new Arts Director, Kourtney's last concert

TEMS AND TOMMY TEAM: PVH Corp.-owned Tommy Hilfiger will launch its Fall Tommy on Tuesday Jeans campaign featuring 27-year-old singer, songwriter and producer, Tems.

Born in Lagos, Nigeria, Tems headlines the campaign video with the support of skate collective Wafflesncream and artists Alte Lady Donli and Dami Oniru.

Alte is a subculture and creative hub that will allow the brand to connect with new audiences around the world.

The video was directed by Nigerian Diaspora member Akinola Davies Jr. and photographed by Joshua Woods , based in Harlem.

"Being part of this campaign is exciting, especially as Lagos and the alternative scenes and communities that thrive there," Tems said. "Not only do these communities invite you to strive for greatness, reach higher, and reach higher, but it helps you grow as a creative, which has been instrumental key in my decision to become the artist I am today."< /p>

Tommy's first collection is featured in the campaign, inspired by the mix of 90s prep, skateboarding and hip-hop culture. The men's, women's and gender-neutral collection features iconic silhouettes fashioned into contemporary streetwear staples. A key element is the Alaska down jacket with an oversized fit, detachable sleeves and a monogram print.

Tommy Collection will be exclusively available during a pre-launch pop-up in the new HBX store by Hypebeast in New York. The pop-up is open Tuesday through September 11 and will feature exclusive artwork from LAAMS and the Tommy Collection by Tommy Jeans range. It will also be sold at partners such as End Clothing, BSTN and One Block Down, as well as on tommy.com and select Tommy Jeans stores worldwide. — LISA LOCKWOOD
