Five decades into her modeling career, Christie Brinkley’s never been busier. The blond beauty, 70, recently wrapped a whirlwind press tour to promote her appearance on the cover of this year’s Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue alongside fellow legends like Tyra Banks and Kate Upton. And on Wednesday, she launched her new clothing line, Twrhll , exclusively at HSN; the name nods to Tower Hill, her beloved Hamptons estate, and the clothes reflect that beachy inspiration.
“The Hamptons is such a gorgeous landscape of bays, harbors, marinas and ports on one side and windswept beaches on the other. And this particular collection has got a lot of nautical influences: stripes and navy and sailor pants and anchor buttons and rope detailing,” Brinkley tells Page Six Style during her packed few days of press, which started with an appearance on the “Today” show and will end with a live HSN appearance at midnight. “Like the Hamptons, it’s kind of classic, but with a little twist.
” And unlike the Hamptons, it’s actually affordable; everything in the collection, which includes denim, dresses and jackets along with accessories, rings in at under $100. Brinkley’s personal favorite from the launch is the striped knit blazer ($70); “You can throw [it] on over anything — great white shorts, a pair of jeans,” she explains. After all, when it comes to nailing Hamptons style, the supermodel says it’s all about “timeless design” and “comfortable” classics you.
