The Hilfiger family’s new home is perched on one of the highest floors of Manhattan’s Plaza Hotel. The family bought the two-floor condo on the corner of Central Park South and Fifth Avenue in 2008.
Tommy’s Wife, Dee Hilfiger says:
“We tried to incorporate as much of the history of the building as we could…From Marilyn Monroe to the Beatles to Jackie O., it makes you think, if these walls could talk…”
But she did not finish her sentence.
Tommy said:
“We had a vision to create an old-world atmosphere complementing the old-world Plaza…We have bought almost all of the furniture together…We like to go shopping on the weekends. It’s been a real collaboration.”
The dining-room table, the antique lacquered desk in the living room and the crystal sailing-ship chandelier in the baby’s room are all noir Maison Jansen.
Original Andy Warhol portraits of Elizabeth Taylor and Grace Kelly are hanging in the living room, and Mickey Mouse hangs in the guest bedroom, while Marilyn Monroe makes an impression in the second-floor hallway. Altogether, there is 20 pieces of Warhol in the apartment and a Jean-Michel Basquiat in the entry. Word has it that Tommy has also got his eyes on a Jasper Johns American-flag painting.
The French Renaissance-style turret even features an Eloise mural by Hilary Knight.
