She stars in New Girl, but Zooey Deschanel definitely is known for her love of the fashion of old

The 34-year-old star posed for a snap at the launch of the To Tommy, From Zooey collection launch at Macy's in New York City on Monday.

The mulch-faceted star created the capsule collection of dresses with American designer Tommy Hilfiger.

Zooey looked good in the white shirt dress with printed fabric in stripes along with black, blue, and red dots as she posed for snaps at the event.

She was even snapped alongside Tommy, who looked dapper in a navy blue coat and jeans at the launch event.

Earlier in the day the American actress appeared on Good Morning America to promote the clothing collection.

The line, called To Tommy From Zooey features 16 1960s- and 1970s-inspired frocks in red-white-and-blue prints and decidedly vintage cuts.

The collection, which has a nautical feel, is affectionately called 'modical' by the star, who naturally wore one of her own designs for her appearance.

The brunette cutie wore a sleeveless, V-neck, knee-length dress in navy, red and white with an all-over diamond pattern and a navy ribbon belt.

She wore nude fishnet tights and tweed kitten heel pumps with a leather detail at the toe.

He hair was styled in her usual 1960s pouf with bang and soft waves and her minimal makeup highlighted her lips and bright blue eyes.

Hilfiger, known for his classic American apparel, explained in a pre-taped interview: 'She's the all-American girl, great sense of style.

'She explained what she wanted and what she didn't want and started talking about it. Different sketches and fabrics, different buttons, trims.'

Zooey added that she has always been interested in fashion and used to make her own clothes as a child.

She brought that experience to her collaboration with Hilfiger to create the collection two years in the making.

Asked how her childhood sewing skills influenced the collection, the actress said: 'A lot. Really a lot because, you know, there were a lot of details that were things that I, you know, used on dresses that I made and it was a really great collaboration with Tommy because he has so much experience.'

And she had high praise for Hilfiger: 'Such a great mentor. He had so many good ideas and then he was really collaborative and let me put my own spin on everything. [It has] a wonderful retro flair to it.'

Explaining their 1960s and '70s inspiration, she said: 'We were inspired by Twiggy and Jean Shrimpton and modernized the shapes, but it very much has the '60s feel.'

Twiggy and Shrimpton were iconic British models from that era.

Zooey's chat was followed by a runway show in Times Square, revealing four of the 16 looks, all of which are under $200.

She showed a white drop-waist dress with a hidden pleat detail in the front and mock pockets, a navy V-neck tennis-inspired dress in a thick jersey fabric, a red flowing dress with fine pleats and a white stripe detail, and a flirty shirtdress in the collection's signature red-white-and-blue bubble print.

'I really love them all,' the fledgling designer said of her dresses, 'and a lot of people have asked if I have a favorite but I can't choose. They're your babies.'

Zooey can currently be seen on The New Girl, which airs on Fox, and will be starring in the upcoming flick Rock The Kasbah with Bruce Willis, Bill Murray, and Kate Hudson.
