Fashion career profile
Tommy Hilfiger
Tommy Hilfiger is an American fashion designer who founded his namesake brand in 1985. After beginning in retail with People's Place in upstate New York, he developed a design and marketing proposition rooted in classic American sportswear, using colour, music and celebrity culture to give familiar wardrobe pieces a distinct identity. The brand expanded internationally and moved through several ownership structures before PVH acquired it in 2010. Hilfiger continues as founder and principal designer, providing creative direction and public continuity while PVH manages the listed corporate reporting perimeter and licenses remain separately scoped.
