Colin Jost and Pete Davidson’s Staten Island Ferry, purchased in a moment of questionable decision making, may finally see the light of day in a surprising turn of events. The vessel, bought for a whopping $280,000 at an auction, is set to play a pivotal role in Tommy Hilfiger’s NYFW show.
Initially intended to be transformed into a multimillion-dollar entertainment venue, the plans for the ferry took a different direction when Davidson confessed that they were “very stoned” at the time of purchase. With visions ranging from a comedy club and restaurant to a boutique cruise ship, the future of the ferry seemed uncertain.
Tommy Hilfiger’s decision to host his fashion show aboard the MV John F. Kennedy ferryboat highlights the significance of New York City as the birthplace of the American dream. By infusing the brand’s nautical-inspired codes into the vessel’s legacy, the show promises to be a celebration of quintessential New York City landmarks.
Despite the initial excitement surrounding the ferry’s potential transformation, Colin Jost expressed uncertainty about the future of the vessel. With ongoing expenses and a lack of clarity on the way forward, Jost humorously remarked that he hoped the ferry would “turn into a Transformer” and sail away to alleviate the financial burden.
With Colin Jost expected to grace Tommy Hilfiger’s NYFW show on Sunday, the ferry’s unexpected journey from a frivolous purchase to a fashion week centerpiece reflects the unpredictable nature of Hollywood ventures. As spectators eagerly await the unveiling of the ferry’s new role, the star-studded event promises to be a spectacle worth watching.
