Happy Birthday to Designer Tommy Hilfiger

Happy Birthday to American Designer Tommy Hilfiger

Today, March 24th, is designer Tommy Hilfiger’s birthday. Tommy’s simple American style, built on the red, white and blue has been an affordable and relatable staple in our fashion wardrobe since it launched in 1985. Tommy Hilfiger made preppy look cool. Where I went to college at Mimi University in Oxford, Ohio, if you wore Tommy Hilfiger to class or a weekend party, you were an instant success. “The preppy lifestyle has gone global,” said Tommy Hilfiger.” We feel that our business has grown so well because preppy travels so well. It’s all-American classic.”
Mr. Hilfiger was one of the first designers to use emerging musical artists like Lenny Kravitz in advertising for his label. Later Beyonce became the face of the brand’s perfume called “True Star.” Mr. Hilfiger is to be admired for not just his designs and marketing savvy, but also his resiliency. Through the years, like many fashion brands, his business has had made ups and downs, but his firm never went under. Happy Birthday Tommy from all the Tommy Girls and recessionistas who love your style and your fabulous outlet stores! 🙂 If you shop Tommy’s website today, take advantage of the 30% off sale on shirts for men and women.
