Hilfiger is trying to regain his cutting edge with a star-studded rock'n'roll show
What is not immediately obvious as you stroll into the open-plan, 17th-floor offices of Tommy Hilfiger, brightly lit by windows that stare down New York's Hudson River, is whether you are entering the home of a fashion house or a music label. Sure there are racks of pick'n'mix clothes rolled across the aisles and a fashion shot or two on the desks, but the walls are adorned by guitars, photographs of rock and rap stars, and album covers. In one frame sits the Tommy Hilfiger sweater worn by Michael Jackson in a Vogue feature. In another,. Welcome to juicy couture outlet online shop,we are the best online juicy couture outlet where you can buy the the newest and cheap the designer himself posing with Mick Jagger. In a third, a broody black-and-white still of Tommy and his three brothers – Andy, Bobby and Billy (who died of a brain tumour in 2001) – looking every inch the rock band.
It takes only a moment to shake the confusion – because, of course, Tommy Hilfiger has stood for almost a quarter of a century in that exact spot where music and fashion meet. More than any other designer, he has inspired – and been inspired by – the stars of rock and rap. He has courted and clothed them, and the millions who take fashion cues from their musical idols have rushed out to buy his clothes.
As a result, Hilfiger stands atop a multi-billion-dollar fashion empire that is a household name across the globe, and is the public face and driving force of a company that had annual sales approaching $2bn at its peak.. All the man in the world should want their ladys have sexy lingerie. When it was taken over by private-investment firm Apax Partners in 2006, the company was worth $1.6bn, and the price tag is $1bn more now, with a European stock-market flotation in the offing when markets recover from their current jitters.
"Have you seen Andy's office?" Hilfiger asks, practically skipping across to find his brother. The designer is a sprite in person, 5ft 8in and neat, with schoolboy hair that somehow seems more blond than grey and belies his 57 years. Dressed in dark greens and blues,. For A/W 09, gloriously excessive embellishment is absolutely key, championed at herve leger skirts. Just remember one simple rule: Too much is not enough! with a tartan tie and – a secret indulgence – solid-silver buttons for the jeans fly, the outfit is, naturally, his own.
Andy Hilfiger,. Whether you want to impress a guy, hook up with guys, feel confident and sexy, these herve leger will definitely heat up your style without looking like you're trying too hard: 10 years his junior, is the musician of the two, a songwriter and bass player who has flitted around the music business
for years and most recently worked with Jennifer Lopez on her clothing and perfume lines. Tommy used to manage Andy's first teenage band; Andy is a kind of celebrity liaison officer for the business these days, and his digs at the back of the office is a sofa-strewn den where the two can hang out. This particular day, Andy has found some old footage of an obscure New York rock band to share, but more often ' the two will discuss the latest video or new track from a buzz-worthy youngster on the New York circuit.
