Today the Tommy Hilfiger brand is in great demand all over the world. Clothes from this brand are sold not only in company stores, but also in various boutiques, stocks and outlets.
Life and early activities
Tom Hilfiger was born in an American large family. He grew up as a ninth child, and his parents had a hard time. Tom's mother worked as a nurse, and his father made watches. When the boy grew up, his parents sent him to study with the hope that he would someday become a successful engineer. But, fortunately, Tom did not obey them and abandoned his studies. Instead, the young man was engaged in business - he bought jeans, and then resold them.
When the guy was 18 years old, he came to New York and bought a lot of jeans, and then went to Elmira. There he opened a small store in which they sold them. For several years, Tom Hilfiger opened 7 such small shops, but then went bankrupt. After his failure, he took a sales course.
Beginning of activity in the field of design
In fact, even after the bankruptcy of his stores, to which Tom Hilfiger devoted almost 8 years of his life, he did not lose heart. After completing sales courses, a couturier got a job at Perry Elis and Calvin Klein, where he began modeling clothes. His work was very successful, and after a few years, Calvin Klein himself invited Tom to become a designer in his company. Couturier thought about it, but in the end refused, because he always wanted to create his own brand of clothing.
A few months after being fired from Perry Elis and Calvin Klein, Tom met an Indian Mohan Murjan, a very influential textile tycoon. He offered the couturier the place of the designer in his company, to which Hilfiger agreed.
The origin of the company
A year after meeting with the Indian tycoon, the couturier opened the company "Tommy Hilfiger" (Tommy Hilfiger). The collection includes shirts, t-shirts, polos, jackets, jackets, trousers, jeans and scarves. The designer and his activities were supported by the influential company of Mohan Murjan.
Tom Hilfiger has become one of the most influential Americans in the field of street fashion. His clothes were distinguished by the fact that she was not deliberately business-like, but not athletic either. In his collections, the polo shirt combined well with trousers, and shirts - with jeans. The Americans loved his clothes very much. At that time, many dreamed of dressing in Tommy Hilfiger. A photo on the Times Square with a clothing advertising campaign was posted a year after the brand opened. In 1986, an American couturier spent several million dollars advertising his products. A few years later, Hilfiger bought the rights to his company from Mohan Murjan. At this time, Tom hired managers from more powerful firms, such as a specialist like Ralph Lauren.
1992 was the most successful year for the American designer. He began to order clothes from such influential and famous personalities as Mariah Carey, Michael Jackson, Leonardo di Caprio, Shoop Dog and many others. For many of them, Tom sewed clothes not represented in the store. After that, almost everyone wanted to dress in Tommy Hilfiger. The addresses of his stores were known to all the most fashionable Americans.
In 1995, Tom Hilfiger opened his charity foundation. It is still valid. Many celebrities help the foundation. A year later, the couturier released a collection of perfumes for men and women, and this was the first time in the history of the brand. A year later, the Tommy Hilfiger store opened in Beverly Hills. In 1999, Tom decided to support the young singer Britney Spears by paying for her tour, as well as developing amazing stage costumes for her. A little later, the designer supported the famous band The Rolling Stones on their tour.
In 1999, the Tommy Hilfiger brand made another leap. The company began working its own website on the Internet, which at that time was considered a rather rare occurrence. A year later, the first shoe collection appeared in the store. The company became so successful that in a few years, its revenue was almost $ 2 billion a year.
In addition to promoting his brand, Tom himself developed as a designer and businessman. He visited the director’s chair, became the sponsor of the famous company for skiers, and also released on television his own project called The-Cut. In this show, several young designers fought for the grand prize. In fact, there was something to fight for - work as a designer at Tommy Hilfiger, as well as a contract for 250 thousand dollars. The businessman himself said that this show was of great importance for him, and also changed him. He was a teacher, mentor, friend, and judge for all the young guys who decided to become famous designers.
In 2006, Tom sold the company. On this his activities did not end. He also produced clothes, wrote an autobiographical book and much more.
