If it weren't for rock'n'roll, I wouldn't be a designer
Tommy Hilfiger

But I think, if you're in the spotlight, people are going to say bad things, and that's just the way it is.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

I'm a designer of more than clothes. I am a designer of a very creative concept.
Tommy Hilfiger
Image
I disapprove of lots of decisions made by George Bush: the war, the meddling in the affairs of other countries, the conversations with dictators it was a dark time.
Tommy Hilfiger
Image
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
Image
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.

No one is an inventor in the fashion business. Designers recreate fashion.
Tommy Hilfiger
Image
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.

I try not to have regrets and to learn from every experience.

Our look and image never change dramatically from one season to the next, so we need an edge.
