I always say if I weren't a fashion designer, my other dream job is being a rock star!

Image
When travelling, dress as comfortably as possible and don't have expectations of everything going perfectly.

Image
My passion for music has always inspired my designs.

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.

Image
I had no confidence at school. I was not a good student and I really thought I was pretty stupid. Just dumb.

In designing a lifestyle brand, you have to know more than just designing clothes.
Tommy Hilfiger
Image
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.

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.

There are many more important things in life than fashion. But fashion, to me, is part of pop culture. And I'm an art collector. I'm obsessed with art and pop culture. And I say that there is fame, fashion, art, music and entertainment, including celebrity, that really moves the needle in society.

The possibilities are endless, so never be discouraged by a setback, no matter how big.

I looked at the rap community like street kids wanting their own brand. But now I look at that period with the rappers in the 90s as a trend of the moment. What it taught me was never to follow a trend, because trends move on.
Tommy Hilfiger
Image
Trying too hard to follow every trend. You want to look fashionable and put-together, not like you hit every sale rack this season.

I'm a designer of more than clothes. I am a designer of a very creative concept.

Image
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.

Women were wearing the men's button-downs so I added men's touches into women's shirts. They're basically the same - just sexier. They're reshaped to the female body.

My mother inspired me to treat others as I would want to be treated regardless of age, race or financial status.

I love creating bold, cinematic moments with my runway shows, so the idea of being a film director has always been appealing to me.

I currently live in the Plaza in New York and I love it - all that history, all those interesting stories.

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.
