(/hɪlˈfɪɡər/ hil-FIG-ər), formerly known as Tommy Hilfiger Corporation and Tommy Hilfiger Inc., is a Dutch-based American clothing brand that manufactures apparel and licensed products such as footwear, accessories, fragrances and home furnishings. The company was founded in New York City in 1985, and its merchandise is sold in department stores and over 2000 free-standing retail stores in 100 countries. Its headquarters are located in Amsterdam.
The red and white fields at the center of the Tommy Hilfiger logo are inspired by the International Code of Signals flag for the letter ‘H’, symbolizing Hilfiger, and reflect the brand’s enduring association with nautical style and the American preppy look.
In 2006, private equity firm Apax Partners acquired the company for approximately $1.6 billion. In March 2010, PVH Corp., then known as Phillips-Van Heusen, bought the company. Daniel Grieder was appointed CEO in July 2014, while founder Tommy Hilfiger remains the company's principal designer, leading the design teams and overseeing the entire creative process.
