"Brinkley’s deep appreciation for art, nature, and the coastal lifestyle is the inspiration behind her newest labor of love, TWRHLL."
Christie Brinkley, America’s beloved girl next door, has once again captured the hearts of fans with the launch of TWRHLL, which made its debut on HSN in May. Brinkley’s newest venture draws inspiration from her cherished home, Tower Hill, nestled on Long Island’s stunning East End. It reflects Brinkley’s deep appreciation for art, nature, and the coastal lifestyle.
TWRHLL was named after the century-old observation tower that stands as a hallmark of the property. “It is a sanctuary that has sparked endless creativity,” said Brinkley, whose love for her home is evident in the way her inspirations come to life through the fabrics and prints she has carefully curated.
“I love having people over,” Brinkley shared, adding that her preference is for relaxed, casual gatherings. This sentiment is captured beautifully in her collection, which includes versatile, chic pieces that transition seamlessly from day to night or season to season.
Sustainability is at the core of TWRHLL, which maintains a commitment to ethical sourcing and fair labor practices. The brand proudly uses 100% BCI cotton, certified recycled polyester, and Ecovero rayon. All man-made cellulosic fibers are sourced from Canopy Green Shirt Certified suppliers, ensuring the protection of endangered forests.
“Christie is a lot of fun to work with. She has a lovely, artistic passion deep inside her. Her home, Tower Hill, has chickens, beehives, and vegetable and flower gardens. She paints and also collects seashells” said Ken Downing, chief creative officer at Xcel Brands, which partnered with Brinkley and HSN on the collection. “She’s just a lovely spirit and she has great personal style. It’s something the customer will respond to in a very positive way.”
