“Ironic Iconic America” is a Bravo TV special that outlines what makes America ironic and iconic. Featuring a U.S. trip with Israeli supermodel Bar Refaeli and Def Jam’s Rives, this documentary segment was inspired by the book “ Iconic America: A Roller Coaster Ride Through The Eye-Popping Panorama Of American Pop Culture”, a collaboration between fashion designer Tommy Hilfiger and art director George Lois.

The Bravo one-hour special takes a look into modern day pop culture in America, highlighting American beauty, fashion, love and sex, design and food. As we follow Bar Refaeli and Rives’ journey across the United States, their unique and voyeuristic perspective of our iconic nation raises the question, “What is America?”
