We&#8217;ve seen plenty of pop up shops over the years, but transporting an authentic beach house to the cobblestone streets Gansevoort Plaza takes the cake! <\/p>\n<p>Guests were treated to pieces from Hilfiger&#8217;s Prep World capsule collection, which takes his relaxed, American sportswear aesthetic and translates it into casual pieces for men, women, children and home. Fresh off the heels of the brand&#8217;s 25th anniversary, the collection seems to express everything Tommy is about and the VIP party hosted by Hilfiger and Official Preppy Handbook author, \ufeffLisa Birnbach was a fitting celebration. Everyone from John Legend to <a href='https:\/\/models.com\/models\/Jessica-Stam'>Jessica Stam<\/a> came out in support of Tommy!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter
