 “About Tommy Hilfiger

. As one of the world’s leading premium lifestyle brands, Tommy Hilfiger delivers superior styling, quality and value to consumers worldwide. The brand celebrates the essence of Classic American Cool and provides a refreshing twist to the preppy fashion genre.

Since its debut in 1985, the Tommy Hilfiger Group has become a US$ 4.6 billion apparel and retail company by offering consumers a breadth of beautifully designed, high quality products including men’s, women’s and children’s apparel, sportswear, denim, and a range of licensed products such as accessories, fragrances and home furnishings.

Under the leadership of Founder Tommy Hilfiger and Chief Executive Officer Fred Gehring, the brand can be found in leading department and specialty stores, as well as in its own expanding network of freestanding retail stores, worldwide. When PVH Corp. (NYSE: PVH) (then known as Phillips-Van Heusen Corporation) acquired the Company in May 2010, Gehring also assumed the role of CEO of PVH’s international operations, while Hilfiger remains the Company’s Principal Designer and provides leadership and direction for all aspects of the design process.

Tommy Hilfiger today has become a global brand with strong recognition and a distribution network in over 90 countries and more than 1,000 retail stores throughout North America, Europe, Central and South America and Asia Pacific.

Tommy Hilfiger established the Tommy Hilfiger Corporate Foundation in December 1995 to help empower America’s youth. Consistent with this vision, in September 2009 the Foundation expanded on a global basis developing and supporting programs and partnerships around the world that help build and promote healthy communities by supporting education, health and cultural programs. In 2013, the Tommy Hilfiger Corporate Foundation consolidated with the PVH Foundation, and continues to operate ongoing commitments and new partnerships as part of Tommy Cares.”
