Tommy Hilfiger

Tommy Hilfiger is a popular brand among all age groups including famous people like Britney Spears, Snoop Dogg and Kate Moss. The man who created it started working when he was eleven but not in the fashion industry, he worked as a newspaper delivery boy but he has always been interested in fashion. 

He was a fan of the Beatles so he grew his hair and wore clothes like them. His style was different from his friends. They asked him where he bought his clothes from and this is how he got into fashion. He saved money and together with some of his friends they opened a store selling the jeans that they had bought and named it People’s Place. The shop was a success so they decided to open a few more shops in college campus areas. 

While selling other people’s clothes he started to design his own clothes. He didn’t study fashion design but the jeans, jackets and vests that he designed became popular. He wanted to make a huge change and let the employees come to work with casual clothes. At the same time, some companies started to have casual Fridays. It was then that Tommy started his company and designed smart but comfortable clothes.
