Harper’s Bazaar shot Tommy Hilfiger, his wife Dee and baby Sebastian at the family’s newly re-furbished duplex at The Plaza. They purchased it in 2008, and tried to sell it last year – for a mere $50 million – but now seem thrilled with the space, which the designer describes as”old-world atmosphere complementing the old-world Plaza.”
The condo, perched on the 18th and 19th floors, replaces Hilfiger’s Greenwich mansion, which he sold recently for $20 million. He still has his Mustique getaway and they’ve also purchased a smaller weekend retreat in another Connecticut suburb. After all, all the other kids (he has 4, she has 2) are either grown or at boarding school. Hilfiger describes this palace-like apartment as “cozy.”
The decor incorporates 20-plus Warhols, a Jean-Michel Basquiat, and Harry Benson photographs of Truman Capote’s 1966 Black and White Ball, which took place at The Plaza, and counted Babe Paley, Mia Farrow and Frank Sinatra as guests. There’s also the original New York Times sign in the study, furniture that once belonged to the Duke and Duchess of Windsor, and a crystal sailing-ship chandelier in the nursery. It’s all so very grandiose.
