Wu Tang Clan, Embroidered Cardigans, and a Ferry Boat—Insider the Tommy Hilfiger Show With Orion Carloto


Orion Carloto—writer, photographer, content creator, and front-row fixture—is no stranger to the buzz of fashion week. Case in point: her trip to New York fashion week for the spring/summer 2025 shows. In town to kick off fashion month for the latest collections, Carloto arrived with a packed schedule and a lineup of street style-worthy looks.

To punctuate her fashion-filled week, Carloto attended the Tommy Hilfiger show. Attendees met on Pier 17 along the South Street Seaport before boarding a Staten Island Ferry that pulled away from dock moments before the runway show began aboard. The collection was classic Tommy, which included Americana pieces such as navy blazers, embroidered cardigans, and baseball hats. Carloto—opting for a trench coat styled as a dress for her show look—was on point with her outfit for the show, which took inspiration from the styles codes of the fashion house.

Ahead, Carloto takes us inside her night attending the Tommy Hilfiger runway show, including what’s in her bag, her favorite looks from the show, and Anna Wintour having the time of her life at the surprise Wu Tang performance that closed the show.

Tell us about the look you selected for the Tommy Hilfiger show and how you styled it.

I went with a trench coat that I styled as a dress. Honestly, I had American Psycho in mind. Patricia Bateman with a cinched-in waist.
