JISOO'S TOMMY HILFIGER LOOK IS ALREADY SHOPPABLE - HERE'S HOW

Blackpink's Jisoo turned heads at Tommy Hilfiger's Plaza Hotel comeback show in a varsity jacket, knitwear, mini skirt and knee-high socks - a look built almost entirely from the brand's existing preppy, collegiate signatures rather than one-off runway exclusives, meaning versions of the look are considerably more accessible than a typical fashion-week front-row moment.

Tommy Hilfiger's varsity jacket, striped knitwear and knee-high sock silhouette has been a recurring house signature across recent seasons rather than a single-season novelty, and the brand maintains a strong retail presence across Korea, Japan, China and Southeast Asia - meaning shoppers looking to recreate Jisoo's front-row styling don't need to wait for the Spring 2027 collection specifically to land locally. Current-season varsity jackets, striped rugby knits and pleated mini skirts from the brand's existing lineup can achieve a very similar silhouette well ahead of the new collection's retail arrival.

The show itself, staged in the lobby of the Plaza Hotel where designer Tommy Hilfiger once lived, marked the brand's return to the official NYFW calendar - a comeback that industry coverage has explicitly tied to renewed interest in American heritage brands generally, a trend with real relevance for Asian shoppers given how much of the region's demand for "Americana" style has historically been served by exactly this kind of preppy, collegiate silhouette.

For shoppers who want the Jisoo-at-NYFW look without importing or waiting, the smartest approach is building the silhouette from Tommy Hilfiger's current in-store range - varsity jacket, striped knit, pleated skirt, knee socks - rather than holding out specifically for Spring 2027 pieces that may take months to reach regional stores in meaningful quantity.
