Tour the Brimfield Antique Show with Tommy Hilfiger's EVP of Global Creative Services as he stocks up on evocative, bold and "perfectly imperfect" pieces to decorate their stores and pop-up shops.
Trent Wisehart doesn't shop antique shows like you or I, searching for pieces that fit in a specific space or match a certain room's decor: He's on the hunt for extraordinary furniture, accessories and curiosities of all shapes and sizes to bring back to the Tommy Hilfiger stores all over the world. Those pieces -- like a forest green Chesterfield sofa or an oversized decorative mirror -- give the stores a special, lived-in feel. It's almost as if you're shopping the closet of a well-traveled friend.
On top of store decor, he's also searching for pieces to furnish the brand's pop-up houses -- module homes designed to look like authentic beach houses, right down to the aged shingles. While the houses have already dropped down (and then packed back up) in New York, Paris and London, there's more to come: Los Angeles-based readers can head over to The Grove during June 10th-12th to tour and shop the next pop-up house -- and admire this one's tennis racket chandelier. Or if you'll be in Europe this summer, check out the full Prep World Tour.
Feeling envious of Trent's antique haul? Consider coming out to the next Brimfield Shows on July 12th-17th or September 6th-11th.
