The iconic style of reggae pioneer Bob Marley has left a lasting mark on the fashion world, influencing designers across the globe. In 2005, Miuccia Prada drew from Marley’s aesthetic, and now Tommy Hilfiger is channeling a similar inspiration. Hilfiger’s Spring/Summer 2016 runway show paid tribute to Jamaica and Caribbean culture, incorporating vibrant Marley-inspired pieces. The collection featured crocheted bucket hats in the bold colors of black, red, yellow, and green, along with breezy sundresses and flowing mesh vests. As noted by Vogue, one standout ensemble—a sporty tracksuit—echoed the laid-back style favored by Marley during the 1970s, especially when cheering on his favorite soccer teams.
