In this gorgeous new book, fashion designer Tommy Hilfiger and his wife, handbag designer Dee Ocleppo Hilfiger, welcome us into their seven distinctive, stylistically varied homes.What makes a house a home? Is it the setting, the architecture, the interior design, the selections of objects and art carefully collected over many decades? In the case of Tommy Hilfiger and Dee Ocleppo Hilfiger's homes, it is all ofthese elements, but most importantly, it is the couple's exceptional warmth and hospitality, what the Greeks call xenia. The Hilfigers live in many places, from Manhattan to Mustique, and though each home is different in style, every one exudes their unique xenia. Their tropical Palm Beach paradise is a world away from their bespoke Greenwich manor, their funky, 1970sstyle Miami home, their idyllic vacation house on Mustique, and their sleek Feadship yacht, Flag. In Hilfiger Homes, Tommy and Dee open the doors to their seven remarkable homes, superbly photographed by Douglas Friedman, a longtime creative partner of the Hilfigers. Our guide is James Reginato, the veteran chronicler of tastemakers and their lifestyle. And scattered throughout are dozens of intimate family photos.

McMillen’s clientele has always comprised a who’s who of American movers and shakers, along with renowned corporate clients, and some of its employees—Albert Hadley, Mark Hampton, and Kevin McNamara among them—went on to become the major interior designers of the late 20th century, Sumptuously illustrated with color and vintage black-and-white photographs of luxurious homes, as well as public spaces such as the Steuben Showroom and the Cosmopolitan Club, both in New York, plus exquisite period watercolors, this celebration of McMillen showcases the very best of design history.
