The preppy lifestyle has gone global in recent years, with wannabe
Buffies and Muffies from Paris to Tokyo sporting grosgrain belts and
swilling gin and tonics. The phenomenon isn’t lost on Tommy Hilfiger,
who has teamed up with Lisa Birnbach, coauthor of The Official Preppy
Handbook, to launch Prep World, a capsule collection of Ivy League
basics with international appeal. Each piece, notes Birnbach, is “as
essential as a trust fund and as eternal as Grandmother’s silver”
