Grilled cheese is getting a fashion-forward makeover. Tillamook partnered with New York fashion designer Rachel Antonoff on Grilled Cheese Skirts, a four-piece capsule collection inspired by the “cheese skirt.”
That’s the crispy, lacy ring of melted cheese that forms when it spreads past the edges of a grilled cheese sandwich. Each skirt is one of a kind and up for auction through Rally Up, with proceeds benefiting Feeding America.
Meet the Skirts
Made for people who take their cheese (and their style) seriously, this collection brings our quality and love of bold, melty cheese to the runway, with four one-of-a-kind skirts designed by Antonoff. Each look is a playful take on the iconic grilled cheese experience, turning a beloved comfort food into a high-fashion moment. There are only four, so there’s no second helping.
- Pepper Jack Mini Skirt: Inspired by those signature flecks of peppers and a kick of heat. The mini is short, spicy and unapologetically bold.
- Sharp Cheddar Midi Skirt: Not too much, not too little. Consider it the wardrobe version of getting the cheese-to-bread ratio exactly right.
- Four Cheese Maxi Skirt: What happens when we let the melt run wild. Full skirt, full drama. This one’s for anyone who’s ever fought over the crispy part.
- Swiss Pencil Skirt: Sleek, structured and perfectly composed. A classic silhouette with playful organza cutouts for a distinctively Swiss twist.
Why grilled cheese?
“Grilled cheese is one of those universally loved foods that brings people comfort, with 61% of Americans naming it as their favorite sandwich, and we wanted to celebrate it in a way that felt unexpected and unmistakably Tillamook,” said Jinny Lam, Vice President of Marketing at Tillamook.
“Tillamook Cheese Slices & Shreds don’t do subtle, they bring bold flavor and an unmistakable melt. Turns out Rachel doesn’t do subtle either. Rachel’s playful and bold approach to design made her the ultimate partner to bring the Grilled Cheese Skirt to life, turning our iconic cheese slice into a full-blown fashion moment.”
