GROWTH OF A GLOBAL BRAND
Born the second of nine children in Elmira, New York, Hilfiger's career in fashion began as a high school student in 1969 when he opened a small chain of stores called People's Place with just $150. His goal was to bring fashion from New York and London to upstate New York. Self taught  he soon began designing for the boutiques he had always admired. In 1979 he moved to New York City to pursue a career as a full-time fashion designer. In New York  Hilfiger caught the eye of Mohan Murjani  a businessman who was looking to launch a line of men's clothing and believed that Hilfiger's entrepreneurial background gave him the unique ability to approach men's fashion in a new way. With Murrain's support  Hilfiger introduced his first signature collection in 1985 by modernizing button-down shirts  chinos  and other time-honored classics with updated fits and details. The relaxed youthful attitude of his first designs has remained a distinctive hallmark throughout all of Hilfiger's subsequent collections.

For 25 years  Tommy Hilfiger has brought classic  cool  American apparel to consumers around the world. His designs give time-honored classics a fresh look  and his discerning taste has provided the foundation for the growth of a global brand.

Under Hilfiger's guidance  vision and leadership as Principal Designer  the Tommy Hilfiger Group has become one of very few globally recognized designer brands offering a wide range of American-inspired apparel and accessories.
