Life and early activities
Tom Hilfiger was born into an American large family. He grew up as the 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 listen to them and abandoned his studies. Instead, the young man was in business, buying jeans and then reselling them.
When the guy was 18, he came to New York and bought a lot of jeans and then went to Elmira. There he opened a small shop in which they sold them. For several years, Tom Hilfiger opened 7 of these small shops, but then went bankrupt. After his failure, he took a sales course.
Beginning in the field of design
In fact, even after the bankruptcy of their stores, whichTom Hilfiger devoted almost 8 years of his life, he did not lose heart. After completing sales courses, the couturier got a job at Perry Elis and Calvin Klein, where he started modeling clothes. His work was very successful, and a few years later Calvin Klein himself invited Tom to become a designer in his company. The couturier thought about it, but in the end he refused, as he always wanted to create his own clothing brand.
A few months after leaving Perry Elis and Calvin Klein, Tom met Indian Mohan Murian, a highly influential textile tycoon. He offered the couturier a place as a designer in his company, to which Hilfiger agreed.
The birth of a company
Already a year after meeting the Indian fashion tycoon, the couturier opened the firm "Tommy Hilfiger" (Tommy Hilfiger).

In his collections, polo shirts went well with trousers, and shirts with jeans. Americans were very fond of his clothes. At that time, many dreamed of dressing in "Tommy Hilfiger". A photo in Times Square with an advertising campaign for clothes was posted a year after the brand was launched. In 1986, an American couturier spent several million dollars advertising hisgoods. A few years later, Hilfiger bought the rights to his company from Mohan Muryan. During this time, Tom hired managers from more powerful firms, such as Ralph Lauren.
1992 was the most successful year for the American designer.

A little later, the designer also supported the famous band The Rolling Stones on their tour.
In 1999, the Tommy Hilfiger brand took another leap forward. The company launched its own website on the Internet, which at that time was considered quite rare. A year later, the first collection of shoes appeared in the store. The company became so prosperous that within a few years its revenue was almost $2 billion per year.year.
Besides promoting his brand, Tom has developed himself as a designer and businessman. He was in the director's chair, became a sponsor of the famous ski company, and also released on television his own project called The-Cut. In this show, several young designers competed for the top prize. In fact, there was something to fight for - a job 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 to him, and also changed him.
