Tommy Hilfiger, the purveyor of all things preppie has installed a Nantunket Mock Beach House in the Meatpacking District to showcase 60 pieces from his Prep World Clothing line. The Beach House will only be around until through the weekend where it will be disassembled and moved to Los Angeles.If you are in the Meatpacking District, it’s worth wandering by to see it only because of the juxposition of the house sitting on top of gravelstone streets and how out of place it looks with the rest of the neighborhood.
For the clothes, it is as you can imagine all very preppy and if that’s your style go for it. In addition for those who who are looking to really live the Preppie Lifestyle, there are copies of sequel to the 1980 Official Preppy Handbook, “True Prep: It’s an Whole New Old World.”
For me, my whale belt wearing, bermuda bag and brightly colored patterned Lily Pulitzer days are over.
While I think this is a fun idea and something different, I don’t understand why it’s only open for four days especially since it took almost a year to get a permit and god only knows the planning, effort and exorbitant costs.
