In case you somehow missed it, global popstar Taylor Swift and Kansas Chief American Footballer Travis Kelce tied the knot almost two months ago with a bedazzling wedding at Madison Square Garden, New York.

After a quiet break away from the limelight, both individuals seem to have thrown themselves back into work.

Travis has brought his dog along too.

Celebrating Tommy Hilfiger’s new Fall collection, Travis takes the leading role in its ‘Only in New York’ campaign, released 1 September.

The campaign takes on a playful angle and features Travis’ own dog in some of the shots as audiences see her contribute to the brand’s ‘quiet luxury’ reputation.

When asked why Travis shot the campaign with the new family pet, he replied: “Why not her? She crushed it and actually really fit into that Tommy aesthetic too… Those are some of my favourite shots.”

Travis’ fashion debut accompanies his American Football career

After being named Tommy Hilfiger’s global brand ambassador last march, this is Travis’ first fashion campaign both with the brand… and ever.

The hero video features Travis walking past The Plaza, the famous New York City landmark, dressed to impress in some pieces from the Fall collection.

Shooting the campaign at The Plaza subtly nods to a personal tie for Tommy Hilfiger himself, as he and his wife Dee lived there for over a decade.

Commenting on the campaign’s creative direction, the renowned fashion designer said: “Returning to The Plaza feels like a homecoming. The moment you walk through the doors, you feel the energy of New York. It’s one of those rare places where the greats of pop culture have crossed paths for generations, and that atmosphere is still there today.”
