Thomas Jacob Hilfiger (/hɪlˈfɪɡər/ hil-FIG-ər; born March 24, 1951)[1] is an American fashion designer and the founder of Tommy Hilfiger Corporation.[2]

After starting his career by co-founding a chain of jeans/fashion stores called People's Place in

perfumes
and went public in 1992.

Hilfiger's collections are often influenced by the fashion of music subcultures and marketed in connection with the music industry,

Phillips-Van Heusen for $3 billion.[8] He remains the company's principal designer, leading the design teams and overseeing the entire creative process.[9] In 2012, Hilfiger was awarded the Geoffrey Beene Lifetime Achievement Award from the Council of Fashion Designers of America.[10]

Business and fashion career

Hilfiger graduated from the

BOCES Bush Campus in Elmira.[12]

People's Place and early lines (1970s–1983)

Hilfiger spent the summer of 1969 working in a clothing store on

peasant blouses, and leather jackets.[13] Unsatisfied with this, he began sketching his own designs, and would later write that "designing made me happier than anything I'd ever done. I knew from that early work that designing would be my life."[13]

The People's Place went bankrupt in 1977. Hilfiger enrolled in classes on commerce and the business side of the fashion industry.[10] After then moving to New York City[13] and working for several different labels, he set up a company called Tommy Hill in 1979.[13] One of his first clients was Jordache Jeans,[10][13] and as Hilfiger's company expanded beyond denim,[10] he spent time in India, learning more about his trade: "I would sit in the factory with my pile of sketches and watch them being made, tweaking as I went. There's no better design school in the world."[13] In 1981 he founded the company 20th Century Survival, and the following year he founded Click Point, which designed women's clothing.[citation needed]

Founding Tommy Hilfiger Inc. (1984–1990s)

In 1984, Hilfiger was approached by businessman Mohan Murjani,[15] to pursue his goal of designing and heading a men's sportswear line.[10][13] Murjani backed the necessary investment for Hilfiger to establish his own brand.[citation needed] Later Hilfiger oversaw the design of the Coca-Cola clothing line for Murjani.

[Wanting to form my own eponymous line] came from a desire to create something that wasn't out there already. I was really in tune with the market—I knew what existed, and I wanted this to be different. Maybe it's the small-town boy in me, but I've always loved the prep school look, traditional Ivy League, and the clothes that sailors and jocks wear. I wanted to take these familiar old things and give them a more laid-back attitude, to make them modern and cool...[with Tommy Hilfiger Corporation in 1985], finally, I felt like I was doing work that felt natural, that felt good. The brand we were building felt so honest, so true to who I am, that it didn't feel like a struggle at all.

— Tommy Hilfiger in 2010[13]

In 1985, he founded the Tommy Hilfiger Corporation with support from The Murjani Group. The new clothing line made its debut with a high-profile marketing campaign, for example setting up a large billboard in Times Square[15] designed by George Lois.[16] Hilfiger left Murjani International in 1989, with Silas Chou instead providing financial backing to the Hilfiger brand,[citation needed] and former executives of Ralph Lauren brought on board as executives of the newly formed company Tommy Hilfiger, Inc.[citation needed] The Tommy Hilfiger Corporation went public in 1992, introducing Hilfiger's signature menswear collection.[citation needed] Hilfiger was named Menswear Designer of the Year by the Council of Fashion Designers of America in 1995.[15][17]

The Tommy Hilfiger Corporation continued to work closely with musicians into the 2000s, focusing on

fragrances as well as clothes. Sweetface Fashion, which owns the J.Lo by Jennifer Lopez line,[24][25][26] was bought out by Tommy Hilfiger in 2003.[27][28] True Star, a fragrance endorsed by Hilfiger and released in 2004, featured Beyoncé as its poster girl.[29] The Tommy Hilfiger Corporation company had revenues of approximately $1.8 billion, and 5,400 employees by 2004.[10]

Rolling Stones for [their 1998 "No Security"] tour, and working with Mick Jagger
and the band was such a great experience."
— Tommy Hilfiger in 2010[3][4]

Hilfiger was instrumental in the creation of the Marc Anthony Collection in 2012,[40] as Marc Anthony had never been interested in the fashion business until Hilfiger called him and convinced him a line was worthwhile.[41] In 2012, Hilfiger was awarded the Geoffrey Beene Lifetime Achievement Award from the Council of Fashion Designers of America.[10] Global sales in retail for the brand in 2013 were US$6.4 billion,[9] and $6.7 billion in 2014.[42]

Hilfiger's memoir, American Dreamer: My Life in Fashion & Business, co-written with Peter Knobler,[50] was published in November 2016.[50][51] In a statement, Hilfiger described it as "a roadmap of the moments that have defined both my [40-year fashion career] and my personal life,"[52][53] and the book covers his childhood, his early business ventures, and his later life in fashion.[50] With Kirkus Reviews calling it "an honest, straightforward, mostly entertaining autobiography,"[54] Hilfiger made an appearance for the book at the Miami Book Fair shortly after its release.[49] American Dreamer appeared on the New York Times Best Sellers List in December 2016[55]
