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.

In designing a lifestyle brand, you have to know more than just designing clothes.
My passion for music has always inspired my designs.
I'm a designer of more than clothes. I am a designer of a very creative concept.
Brad is the United States' premier solo sailor and we are very proud and extremely excited about this opportunity to support him,
review various strategic and financial options to enhance long-term shareholder value.
It takes hard work, resourcefulness, perseverance and courage to succeed. Brad and the Tommy Hilfiger Freedom America team personify these qualities and are an embodiment of the American dream.

We are going back to our roots by cultivating new unsigned talent who otherwise might go unnoticed.
We are really living the American dream, to be a successful brand in the States and in Europe and to steep ourselves in our heritage. But we do it with a sense of humor. We don't take ourselves too seriously in fashion.
