For its second go at the “Americans in Paris” intiative, the CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund has teamed up with Tommy Hilfiger and 10 emerging designers to reimagine the classic Tommy trench.

Three of each coat will be sold worldwide — that’s 30 in total —for $298 each. All proceeds benefit the fund, and the designs will be on display during Paris Fashion Week . “My own experience at the beginning of my career inspired my commitment to mentor young designers,” Hilfiger said in a release. “I know firsthand how difficult it can be to enter the fashion industry and I believe designers benefit from supporting and inspiring one another.”

Check out all the coats below. We’re particularly partial to the Billy Reid and Monique Pean creations:
