More quotes by 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.

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

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.

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.
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.

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 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 passion for music has always inspired my designs.
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?
Tommy Hilfiger
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.
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
But I think, if you're in the spotlight, people are going to say bad things, and that's just the way it is.
Tommy Hilfiger
Fashion is about affordable luxury ... To succeed, designers need to be affordable, wearable, accessible, and aspirational.
Tommy Hilfiger
Our look and image never change dramatically from one season to the next, so we need an edge.

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

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.
