Tommy Hilfiger
Tommy Hilfiger is een Amerikaanse modeontwerper. Het merk werd al gauw een groot succes, waardoor meerdere lijnen en collecties werden geïntroduceerd en het merk wereldwijde bekendheid verkreeg. Tegenwoordig bestaat het merk uit twee lijnen: Tommy Hilfiger en Hilfiger Denim. Het merk hanteert de 'Cool American Style': klassiek, maar toch met een 'coole/casual' twist. Samen met het vlaggenlogo is het merk Tommy Hilfiger niet meer weg te slaan uit de modewereld.
Samenvatting
In this tale of grit and glamour, setbacks and comebacks, business and pop culture icon Tommy Hilfiger shares his extraordinary life story for the first time.
Few designers have stayed on top of changing trends the way Tommy Hilfiger has. Fewer still have left such an indelible mark on global culture. Since designing his first collection of classics with a twist three decades ago, Tommy Hilfiger has been synonymous with all-American stylebut his destiny wasnt always so clear. Growing up one of nine children in a working-class family in Elmira, New York, Tommy suffered from dyslexia, flunked sophomore year of high school, and found himself constantly at odds with his father. Nevertheless, this self-described dreamer had a vision and the relentless will to make it a reality. At eighteen he opened his own clothing store, parlaying his uncanny instinct for style into a budding career as a fashion designer. Through decades of triumph and turmoil, Tommy remained doggedly optimistic. To this day, his approach to commerce is rooted in his positive view of the world.
American Dreamer brims with anecdotes that cover Tommys years as a club kid and scrappy entrepreneur in 1970s New York as well as unique insights into the exclusive A-list personalities with whom hes collaborated and interacted, from Mick Jagger and David Bowie to Ralph Lauren and Calvin Klein. But this is more than just a fashion icons memoirits a road map for building a brand, both professionally and personally. Tommy takes us behind the scenes of every decisionand every mistakehes ever made, offering advice on leadership, business, team-building, and creativity.
This is the story of a true American original, told for the first time in his own words, with honesty, humor, and the insatiable appetite for life and style that proves that sometimes you have to dream big to make it big.
