The Memorial Dedication was a momentous occasion
Tommy Hilfiger
Image
I had no confidence at school. I was not a good student and I really thought I was pretty stupid. Just dumb.
Tommy Hilfiger

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.

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

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

New York Fashion Week comes only twice a year, make it count
Tommy Hilfiger
Image
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.

I consider myself to be respectful, and I believe this is a main value for sports.

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.

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

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

My passion for music has always inspired my designs.

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

Image
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.

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

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

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.
