Born in the small town of Elmira New York, Tommy Hilfiger went on to revolutionize the classics with his famous "Tommy Twist." America's favorite flag bearer launched his label in 1985. Hilfiger's irreverent take on Americana merged with a hip-hop attitude earned him, not only instant street cred but also global recognition. Today, the Tommy Hilfiger Empire includes womenswear, fragrances, jeans and home. The self-taught fashion designer offers everyone a piece of the American dream.
