Wu-Tang Clan Perform On Staten Island Ferry For Tommy Hilfiger NYFW Show
Tommy Hilfiger brought the Wu-Tang Clan to Sunday’s (Sept. 8) New York Fashion Week runway event debuting its Spring-Summer 2025 collection. Raekwon, Method Man, and Ghostface Killah helped the designer close out the showcase, which brought guests to the John F. Kennedy Staten Island ferry boat owned by Saturday Night Live’s Colin Jost and Pete Davidson.
“Tommy’s legendary, you know. When you go back to our early material, that’s what we were screaming, it’s what we were wearing, explained Ghostface to DAZED of the fashion forward reunion. “He was one of the top-ass brands, he had me running about in this big-ass warehouse going crazy in his clothes. If you go back and listen, we were shouting his name out on mad tracks. So many tracks.”
He continued, “Back in the 80s and early 90s, his name was attached to the streets. If you had Hilfiger on, it meant something. That’s how fashion was back in the day. So it’s an honour right now to be on the boat, back where it all started. It’s legendary. When I got the call, I was like ‘Hell yeah, I’m gonna go wreck.’”
“Tommy was just everything back in the day. We used to call him Hilfinger then though [both laugh], it just ran off our tongues like that. We used to shout him out on the music, then we’d hunt out his clothes. It’s so epic to be doing this on the Staten Island ferry. I remember as a kid getting on the boat and I’d be so excited – coming to Manhattan was a big trip. And now we’re performing on it, I feel like a kid again,” added Raekwon.
He continued, “Being here today feels like a big celebration of our success and how far we’ve come – we get to reflect on all that. And we know how big fashion is, how big music is, and it’s two brothers that are now united to celebrate all that. So shout out to Tommy, and shout out to all the people that brought this amazing thing together.”
According to VOGUE, Hillfiger teased the affair ahead of time explaining, “It’s going to be fun, and it’ll definitely be a source of entertainment.”
The fashion magazine described the collection as including “classic Tommy: Navy captain’s blazers and peacoat-style trench coats, cricket sweaters and tennis v-necks, pleated khaki chinos and prim poplin dresses and shirt dresses.”
