I think it is really important to have a sense of business. As a designer you can get so wrapped up in the design and fashion side that you forget the business side.

More quotes by Tommy Hilfiger
My rule of thumb is to strike a balance by sticking to the classics and playing with color, texture, and print to give them a modern update. On any given day, I keep it simple with jeans or chinos and a comfortable dress shirt.
Tommy Hilfiger
If I see someone wearing Hilfiger it makes me proud, but then I wonder what I could do to make the style more relevant for them next year?

I knew exactly what I wanted to do. I wanted to build some kind of lifestyle brand that was preppy and cool.

The preppy lifestyle has gone global. We feel that our business has grown so well because preppy travels so well. It's all-American classic.

Other than a couple of moments in time, I always thought that, some way, I'm going to make it. I'm just going to make it. And I'm not going to give up. And I'm going to realize that dream. So, I never gave up. And I have realized the dream, and I enjoy every moment of every day.

I currently live in the Plaza in New York and I love it - all that history, all those interesting stories.
Tommy Hilfiger
I don't think generally speaking, there are a lot of innovators and inventors. Many of the designers take what exists already and update it or make it relevant for today. But true inventors have never been seen before. Bill Gates is a real inventor. I don't think fashion designers invent anything new. They innovate new ways to make fashion.
Tommy Hilfiger
Off the court, I tend to stick to the classics, but I like to have fun with color and accessories. I'm from Spain, so colors are important for me.
Tommy Hilfiger
Trying too hard to follow every trend. You want to look fashionable and put-together, not like you hit every sale rack this season.

New York Fashion Week comes only twice a year, make it count
Tommy Hilfiger
I saw my future. I pictured it, but didn't quite know how to get there. But I knew that I should never give up.
Tommy Hilfiger
When travelling, dress as comfortably as possible and don't have expectations of everything going perfectly.
Tommy Hilfiger
The best city for fashion is Tokyo. You see styles there you won't see in London, Paris, Milan or New York. I also like the fashion scene in Los Angeles - it has a unique look.
Tommy Hilfiger
I try not to have regrets and to learn from every experience.
Tommy Hilfiger
When I am in London, I think my favourite city is London, but when I am in New York, I feel it is New York. It is very hard to choose between the two.
