AMERICAN DREAMER: MY LIFE IN FASHION AND BUSINESS
Book ID/图书代码： 01240016B89067
English Summary/英文概要： The fashion icon’s memoir chronicles his formative years, his origins in the fashion industry, and the setbacks, triumphs, and determination that drove him to build a multi-billion dollar global lifestyle brand.
Since designing his first collection of "classics with a twist" three decades ago, Tommy Hilfiger has been synonymous with all-American style. In this tale of grit and vision, setbacks and comebacks, the business and pop culture icon shares his life story for the first time. The book traces his childhood in working-class Elmira, NY, the second of nine children, and his first boutique, opened at age 18; his adventures as a club kid and scrappy entrepreneur in late ’60s/early ’70s New York City; the founding of his company in 1985; and his meteoric rise in the fashion industry despite major obstacles (including false rumors that he didn’t want African American people wearing his clothes and a crumbling business in 2000, right when his first marriage ended).
• Our publication date coincides with the 30th anniversary of the Tommy Hilfiger brand, which Hilfiger will be promoting extensively. Fashion devotees, entrepreneurs, and fans of leadership memoirs will find fascinating stories about how Tommy Hilfiger became a household name.

Mr. Hilfiger launched his namesake fashion label in 1985, and the brand quickly expanded to include womenswear, Hilfiger Denim, kidswear, accessories, fragrance, and home, among other categories. In the 1990s, he was one of the first designers to blend fashion and celebrity, sponsoring tours for rock legends like The Rolling Stones and featuring musicians such as Lenny Kravitz, David Bowie and Beyoncé in his iconic advertising campaigns.
