Tommy Hilfiger Shoes
Tommy Hilfiger Shoes is part of the Tommy Hilfiger company, started by the world-renowned fashion designer of the same name. Hilfiger did not go to college but instead went into retail at 18 years of age. He would customize his own jeans and resell them in the New York area. He soon opened his own store known as the “People's Place” in downtown Elmira. Though his first business went under, Hilfiger was not defeated yet. In fact, he would turn down offers from Calvin Klein and Perry Ellis so he could eventually open new stores and find his own Tommy Hilfiger Corporation. The company eventually would go public and be bought out by Apax for a billion dollars. Hilfiger is no stranger to controversy and has received bad press for things both real and imagined. Real: his getting into a fight with Guns N' Roses singer Axl Rose and facing allegations of sweatshop employment conditions; Imagined: allegations of racism, which have been proven untrue.
