Как правильно пишется tommy hilfiger

Вот скажите, вы абсолютно уверены, что правильно произносите названия всемирно известных зарубежных фирм и компаний? Например, Nike, Lamborghini, Porsche, Moet & Chandon ? А как правильно произносить знаменитые Levi`s, Xerox, Samsung, Mitsubishi, не говоря уже о Hyundai?

Не уверен, что вы делаете это без ошибок.

1. Найки. 

Название бренда происходит от имени богини победы Ники и в оригинале звучит «Найки». Именно так его произносят в Соединенных Штатах. Однако незнание данного факта с одной стороны, и правила чтения английского слова «nike» с другой стороны, привели к широкому распространению в Европе в целом и в России в частности неправильной транскрипции «Найк». Неправильное в сущности название не только прижилось и закрепилось, но и используется в названии официального представителя компании в России.

2. Ламборгини. 

Итальянский производитель дорогих спортивных автомобилей называется «Ламборгини». Согласно правилам чтения в итальянском языке, если после «g» стоит «h», то оно читается как «Г». Однако в России настолько распространено неверное произношение «Ламборджини», что даже система автопоиска Google выдает именно его. Но если сказать Lamborghini привычным способом итальянцу, на вас посмотрят как на идиота, нанесшего серьезное оскорбление.

3. Хенде.

В переводе с корейского «Hyundai» означает «современность». Правильная русская транслитерация этого слова — «хёндэ» с ударением на последний слог. В российской рекламе название деликатно стараются не произносить, ограничиваясь лишь англоязычным написанием, хотя на официальном сайте компании используется написание «Хендэ». В народе же корейского автопроизводителя именуют и «Хёндай», и «Хюндай», и даже «Хундай».

4. пОрше.

Произносится «Порше» с ударением на первый слог по имени основателя компании Фердинанда Порше. Россияне либо путают ударный слог, либо теряют окончание, задаваясь вопросом, почему же тогда не читается конечная «e» в названии люксового внедорожника Cayenne (Порше Кайенн).

5. Бэ-Эм-Вэ.

Глупо конечно, но некоторые борцы за правильное называние всего и вся уверяют, что нужно говорить «Би-Эм-Дабл-Ю». Не нужно — потому что «Бэ-Эм-Вэ» — это абсолютно адекватное произношение для BMW, немецкого автомобилестроителя, чье название, как известно, произошло, сократившись от Bayerische Motoren Werke. В немецком языке буквы, вошедшие в бренднейм, называются именно так, и W — это «Вэ».

6. Моет э Шадон. 

Вопреки распространенному в России мнению, в имени всемирно известной марки шампанских вин при произнесении убирается не «т» в слове Moёt, а «н» в слове Chandon. Союз «и», представленный в имени амперсандом, читается, как и положено по-французски, «э».

7. Левис. 

Тщательные исследования выявили, что оба варианта уже давно и прочно вошли в общее употребление, и даже в США бытуют оба варианта. Люди продолжают интересоваться, спорить, доказывать, но вся доказательная база в этом случае сводится к двум моментам: носители английского языка чаще всего говорят Ливайз, потому что по правилам английского имя Levi читается как «Ливай»; но создателя первых джинс звали Леви. Леви Штраусс был немецким евреем, при рождении получившим имя Loeb. В 18 лет он переехал из родной Баварии в Сан-Франциско, и его имя для удобства произнесения в Штатах превратилось в Леви. И если следовать грамматике английского языка, то правильней «Левис».

8. Зирокс. 

Удивительно, но на самом деле «зирокс», а не «ксерокс». В Штатах начальную букву «X» всегда читают как «З». «Зена — королева воинов» тоже, кстати, пишется «Xena». Но в России с самого первого копировального аппарата Xerox называли именно ксероксом, и сейчас никто уже не поймет, о чем идет речь, если услышит «зирокс».

9. Самсон.

Samsung произносят в России произносят, как «Самсунг», но более правильно «САмсон» , с ударением на первом слоге, что в переводе означает «три звезды».

10. Мицубиси. 

Российское представительство японского автомобилестроителя Mitsubishi в своей последней кампании сделало акцент на варианте «Митсубиши». Предпоследний звук в японском языке в действительности читается как нечто среднее между «с» и «ш», но ближе к «с», чем к «ш», поэтому подавляющее большинство японистов и переводчиков с японского языка продолжают настаивать на «Мицубиси».

Ну а теперь может быть для кого то далекая тема, но все же — шпаргалка с правилами произношения имен дизайнеров и названий брендов.

Alexander McQueen – с именем Александр проблем не возникает, а вот его фамилия часто произносится неправильно: нужно говорить МаккуИн вместо МаккУин.

Azzedine Alaia – три гласных в фамилии этого дизайнера не должны вас пугать, его зовут Аззедин Алайя.

Badgley Mischka – это вовсе не имя одного человека, а фамилии основателей этого дизайнерского бренда Марка Бэджли и Джеймса Мишки.

Balmain – на англоязычный манер название этого бренда произносят как «БальмЕйн», но у него французские корни, поэтому правильно будет «БальмАн».

Bulgari – ювелирный бренд звучит как «БУлгари», а не «БАлгари».

Burberry – с этим английским брендом возникает масса разночтений, и, чтобы не запутать вас, мы не будем их перечислять: правильный вариант – «Бёрбери».

Carolina Herrera — первая буква в фамилии дизайнера оказывается немой, поэтому «КаролИна ЭрЭра».

Cartier – с ударением на последний слог правильным будет «КартьЕ».

Céline – несмотря на мнимый значок ударения над буквой Е, правильным будет ставить ударение на последний слог: «СелИн».

Chloé – это истинно французская марка, ее название произносят на французский манер «КлоЭ», а не «ХлОе».

Christian Louboutin – знаменитого обувщика зовут КРИСТИАН ЛУБУТАН, а его обувь сокращенно называют «Лубис».

Christian Lacroix – знакомьтесь, Кристиан Лакруа, а последняя буква в его фамилии не читается.

Comme des Garçons – этот японский бренд свое название произносит на французский манер, поэтому правильным будет «Ком де ГарсОн» без конечных букв С.

Dolce & Gabbana – выучить наизусть и никогда не делать ошибки, это же «ДОльче Энд ГаббАна».

Dsquared – сложное название этого итальянского бренда представляет собой игру слов, которая читается как «ДискуЭрт».

Emilio Pucci – Эмилио в данном случае именно ПУччи с ударением на первый слог, но никак не ПУси и не ПУкки.

Etro – итальянский бренд имеет ударение именно на первую букву, поэтому «Этро», а не «ЭтрО».

Hermès – в России долгое время этот бренд именовали не иначе как «ГермЕс», хотя правильной версией с учетом французской фонетики будет более короткое название «ЭрмЭ» с ударением на последний слог.

Hervé Léger – бандажные платья производит марка «ЭрвЭ ЛэжЭ», но точно не какой-нибудь Херв Леджер.

Giambattista Valli – это ЖАМБАТТИСТА ВАЛЛИ, а его коллега Gianfranco Ferre звучит не иначе как ЖанфрАнко ФеррЭ.

Giorgio Armani – обижать великого дизайнера не стоит, поэтому запомните, что верно его имя звучит как «ДжОрджо АрмАни».

Givenchy – не Дживенчи, не Гивенчи, а только ЖиваншИ.

Jean-Paul Gaultier – с Жаном-Полем все просто, а вот с фамилией бывают загвоздки – она звучит как «ГотьЕ».

Jimmy Choo – марка обуви и АКСЕССУАРОВ произносится как ДжИмми ЧУ.

Guess – пожалуйста, только не ГуЁс, а просто «ГЕс».

Lacoste – читается как пишется, но с ударением на букву О.

Loewe – как только не коверкают название этой испанской марки, хотя звучит она вполне просто: «ЛоЭвэ».

Louis Vuitton – не ЛуИс, а ЛуИ, и не ВьютОн, а ВюитОн. Запишите себе как шпаргалку!

Marchesa – по итальянским правилам название нужно читать как «МаркЕза», а не «МарчЕза».

Miu Miu – почти как мяукающая кошка: «МИу МИу».

Moschino – название бренда происходит от фамилии его основателя ФрАнко МоскИно.

Nina Ricci – по аналогии с ГУЧЧИ произносим Риччи.

Proenza Schouler – на названии этого американского бренда можно практически «язык сломать». Запомните, как читается правильный вариант: «ПроЭнза СкУлер».

Ralph Lauren – верным будет произношение ЛОрен, а не ЛорАн, потому что это американский бренд.

Salvatore Ferragamo – вдыхайте глубоко и тренируйтесь: «СальватОрэ ФеррагАмо».

Sergio Rossi – не Серхио, как в Испании, а СЭржо, на итальянский манер.

Sonia Rykiel – с Соней все понятно, а фамилия дизайнера читается как «РикЕль».

Tommy Hilfiger – это простое имя у многих почему-то вызывает трудности. Верно будет говорить «ТОмми ХилфИгер».

UGGs – не «уггс», а «агс», что, впрочем, не мешает всем называть эту обувь просто уггами.

Versace – говорим «ВерсАче» с ударением на предпоследний слог.

Vionnet – не «Вайонет» на английский манер, а «ВьоннЭ» с потерянной последней буквой.

Yves Saint Laurent – это имя в связи с выходом биографического фильма теперь у всех на слуху, так что не делайте ошибок, это же «Ив СЭн ЛорАн» и никто больше.

Thomas Jacob Hilfiger (/hɪlˈfɪgər/; born March 24, 1951)^[1] is an American fashion designer and the founder of Tommy Hilfiger Corporation.^[2]

After starting his career by co-founding a chain of jeans/fashion stores called People’s Place in upstate New York in the 1970s, he began designing preppy clothing for his own eponymous menswear line in the 1980s.^{[citation needed]} The company later expanded into women’s clothing and various luxury items such as perfumes and went public in 1992.^{[citation needed]}

Hilfiger’s collections are often influenced by the fashion of music subcultures and marketed in connection with the music industry,^[3][4] with celebrities such as American R&B artist Aaliyah in the 1990s.^[5] In 2005, contestants in the CBS reality show The Cut competed for a design job with Hilfiger in a similar fashion to The Apprentice.^[6] In 2006, Hilfiger sold his company for $1.6 billion to Apax Partners,^[7] who next sold it in 2010 to Phillips-Van Heusen for $3 billion.^[8] He remains the company’s principal designer, leading the design teams and overseeing the entire creative process.^[9] In 2012, Hilfiger was awarded the Geoffrey Beene Lifetime Achievement Award from the Council of Fashion Designers of America.^[10]

Business and fashion career[edit]

Hilfiger graduated from the Elmira Free Academy high school in 1969.^[11] His parents wanted him to get a college education and pursue a traditional career,^[10] and for a time he attended GST BOCES Bush Campus in Elmira.^[12]

People’s Place and early lines (1970s–1983)[edit]

Hilfiger spent the summer of 1969 working in a clothing store on Cape Cod,^[13] and afterwards he decided to use his life savings of $150^[14] to open a clothing store in 1971^{[citation needed]} as People’s Place.^[13] The first store was located in downtown Elmira in what is now the site of First Arena and had a hair salon, a record shop, and rock concerts in the basement.^[13] To stock the store, Hilfiger and a friend drove to New York City to buy clothing such as bell-bottoms, peasant blouses, and leather jackets.^[13] Unsatisfied with this, he began sketching his own designs, and would later write that «designing made me happier than anything I’d ever done. I knew from that early work that designing would be my life.»^[13]

The People’s Place went bankrupt in 1977. Hilfiger enrolled in classes on commerce and the business side of the fashion industry.^[10] After then moving to New York City^[13] and working for several different labels, he set up a company called Tommy Hill in 1979.^[13] One of his first clients was Jordache Jeans,^[10][13] and as Hilfiger’s company expanded beyond denim,^[10] he spent time in India, learning more about his trade: «I would sit in the factory with my pile of sketches and watch them being made, tweaking as I went. There’s no better design school in the world.»^[13] In 1981 he founded the company 20th Century Survival, and the following year he founded Click Point, which designed women’s clothing.^{[citation needed]}

Founding Tommy Hilfiger Inc. (1984–1990s)[edit]

In 1984, Hilfiger was approached by businessman Mohan Murjani,^[15] to pursue his goal of designing and heading a men’s sportswear line.^[10][13] Murjani backed the necessary investment for Hilfiger to establish his own brand.^{[citation needed]} Later Hilfiger oversaw the design of the Coca-Cola clothing line for Murjani.

[Wanting to form my own eponymous line] came from a desire to create something that wasn’t out there already. I was really in tune with the market—I knew what existed, and I wanted this to be different. Maybe it’s the small-town boy in me, but I’ve always loved the prep school look, traditional Ivy League, and the clothes that sailors and jocks wear. I wanted to take these familiar old things and give them a more laid-back attitude, to make them modern and cool…[with Tommy Hilfiger Corporation in 1985], finally, I felt like I was doing work that felt natural, that felt good. The brand we were building felt so honest, so true to who I am, that it didn’t feel like a struggle at all.

— Tommy Hilfiger in 2010^[13]

In 1985, he founded the Tommy Hilfiger Corporation with support from The Murjani Group. The new clothing line made its debut with a high-profile marketing campaign, for example setting up a large billboard in Times Square^[15] designed by George Lois.^[16] Hilfiger left Murjani International in 1989, with Silas Chou instead providing financial backing to the Hilfiger brand,^{[citation needed]} and former executives of Ralph Lauren brought on board as executives of the newly formed company Tommy Hilfiger, Inc.^{[citation needed]} The Tommy Hilfiger Corporation went public in 1992, introducing Hilfiger’s signature menswear collection.^{[citation needed]} Hilfiger was named Menswear Designer of the Year by the Council of Fashion Designers of America in 1995.^[15][17]

After licensing Pepe Jeans USA in 1995, in 1996, Tommy Hilfiger Inc. began distributing women’s clothing.^{[citation needed]} By the end of 1997 Hilfiger had opened his first store in Beverly Hills. This was followed by a store in London in 1998.^{[citation needed]} Hilfiger was serving as the company’s co-chairman by 1997,^{[citation needed]} and that year he published his first book, titled All American: A Style Book.^{[citation needed]}

Increased brand exposure (1990s–2004)[edit]

A professed lifelong fan of rock and roll, Hilfiger’s collections are often influenced by the fashion of music subcultures. The clothes are also marketed in connection with the music industry,^[3][4] and as early as 1993 Hilfiger was an official sponsor for Pete Townshend’s Psychoderelict tour. Hilfiger has also sponsored several musical events, including Sheryl Crow’s If It Makes You Happy tour in 1997,^[18] Britney Spears 1999 …Baby One More Time Tour as main sponsor,^[19][20] and Lenny Kravitz’s 1999 Freedom tour.^[21] By the mid-1990s, Hilfiger’s style of clothing was popular with both the American «preppy» scene and as hip hop fashion.^[15] American R&B icon Aaliyah became the much-publicized spokesperson for Tommy Hilfiger Corporation in 1997.^[5]

Hilfiger had a cameo in the fashion spoof Zoolander in 2001,^[22] and from 2002 to 2006 Tommy Hilfiger Inc. owned the naming rights to the Tommy Hilfiger at Jones Beach Theatre venue.^[23] Largely due to declining sales in the early 2000s, Hilfiger began reworking the brand, striving to retain the designer brand exclusivity of the Hilfiger label by signing a deal to distribute the best-selling Hilfiger lines at Macy’s only.^[15]

The Tommy Hilfiger Corporation continued to work closely with musicians into the 2000s, focusing on fragrances as well as clothes. Sweetface Fashion, which owns the J.Lo by Jennifer Lopez line,^[24][25][26] was bought out by Tommy Hilfiger in 2003.^[27][28] True Star, a fragrance endorsed by Hilfiger and released in 2004, featured Beyoncé as its poster girl.^[29] The Tommy Hilfiger Corporation company had revenues of approximately $1.8 billion, and 5,400 employees by 2004.^[10]

Media appearances and sale of clothing brand (2005–2011)[edit]

In 2005, a CBS reality show called The Cut tracked the progress of sixteen contestants as they competed for a design job with Tommy Hilfiger and their own fashion line under Hilfiger’s label. The show progressed in a similar fashion to Donald Trump’s The Apprentice. After a final competition that involved setting up the display window for Macy’s Herald Square location in New York, Hilfiger chose Chris Cortez as the «next great American designer.»^[6]

In December 2005, Tommy Hilfiger sold the clothing brand for $1.6 billion, or $16.80 a share, to Apax Partners, a private investment company.^[30][7] The transaction was completed in May 2006.^[31] In 2008 Hilfiger, Rives, and Bar Refaeli co-hosted the Bravo special program Tommy Hilfiger Presents Ironic Iconic America.^[32] Based on the book Ironic Iconic America written by Hilfiger and designer George Lois,^[33] the program examined how pop culture has influenced American tastes and styles.^[34] In 2009 Hilfiger was a guest judge on an episode of Project Runway,^[22] and he presented the Best African Artist award to Akon at the 2010 World Music Awards.^[22]

In March 2010, Phillips-Van Heusen, owner of Calvin Klein and Izod, bought the Tommy Hilfiger brand from Apax Partners for $3 billion.^[8][35] The Tommy Hilfiger online and in-store ad campaign called «Meet The Hilfigers» began in August 2010 and ran through August 2011.^[36] In 2011, Hilfiger and a partner signed a contract to buy the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company Tower building for $170 million, planning to transform it into Hilfiger’s first hotel, with luxury condos. Hilfiger backed off the project in September 2011.^[37] A guest judge on the finale of Project Runway: All Stars along with Neiman Marcus fashion director Ken Downing in 2012,^[22] shortly afterwards he served as a fashion consultant to contestants on season 11 of American Idol.^[38][39]

Recent years and memoir (2012–2016)[edit]

Hilfiger was instrumental in the creation of the Marc Anthony Collection in 2012,^[40] as Marc Anthony had never been interested in the fashion business until Hilfiger called him and convinced him a line was worthwhile.^[41] In 2012, Hilfiger was awarded the Geoffrey Beene Lifetime Achievement Award from the Council of Fashion Designers of America.^[10] Global sales in retail for the brand in 2013 were US$6.4 billion,^[9] and $6.7 billion in 2014.^[42]

Hilfiger remains the company’s principal designer, leading the design teams and overseeing the entire creative process.^[9] In 2016, he collaborated with model Gigi Hadid on clothing designs^[43] launching the TommyXGigi clothing collection.^[44] On February 8, 2017, the brand will hold its ready-to-wear show in Los Angeles, in the first time the brand will not be part of New York Fashion Week.^[45]

In January 2015, Hilfiger announced that he was working on his memoirs.^[46] The book was written chronologically over a year, with Hilfiger explaining «I was hesitant to write it, but thought I better do it now because someday I may forget.»^[47] Co-writer Peter Knobler had full access to interview friends and family, with Hilfiger citing the candor of Diane von Furstenberg’s memoirs as an inspiration.^[47] Calling the writing process «great therapy»^[43] and «interesting,»^[48] Hilfiger asserted that he «wanted to give people a sneak peek of what goes on behind the curtain [of] how the fashion industry works.»^[49] He read selections from the book in June 2016 at the Literacy Partners Evening of Readers and Gala Dinner Dance.^[46]

Hilfiger’s memoir, American Dreamer: My Life in Fashion & Business, co-written with Peter Knobler,^[50] was published in November 2016.^[50][51] In a statement, Hilfiger described it as «a roadmap of the moments that have defined both my [40-year fashion career] and my personal life,»^[52][53] and the book covers his childhood, his early business ventures, and his later life in fashion.^[50] With Kirkus Reviews calling it «an honest, straightforward, mostly entertaining autobiography,»^[54] Hilfiger made an appearance for the book at the Miami Book Fair shortly after its release.^[49] American Dreamer appeared on the New York Times Best Sellers List in December 2016^[55]

Charity work[edit]

In 1995 Hilfiger launched The Tommy Hilfiger Corporate Foundation. With an emphasis on health, educational and cultural programs, the organization supports charities that focus on at-risk American youth.^[56] In 1998^[57] Hilfiger was one of several sponsors along with Moet and Chandon, Christie’s Auction House, and The Advocate of the charity LIFEbeat – The Music Industry Fights AIDS.^[58] He is personally involved in charities and causes such as Autism Speaks and the MLK, Jr. National Memorial Project Foundation,^[16] and he has served on the board of directors for The Fresh Air Fund, a New York-based group that helps underprivileged children attend summer camp.^[16] The Fresh Air Fund’s Camp Pioneer program was renamed Camp Tommy in 1999, in honor of Hilfiger’s patronage.^[59]

Since 2008, Hilfiger has designed limited-edition handbags in support Breast Health International (BHI), an international organization focused on finding a cure for breast cancer. A portion of the handbag sales proceeds is donated to BHI’s Fund For Living program, with celebrity ambassadors appointed for each seasonal campaign. In 2013, Claudia Schiffer and Naomi Campbell modeled the BHI bag in a photoshoot with photographer Patrick Demarchelier.^[60][61]

Millennium Promise, a non-profit organization focused on eradicating extreme poverty, hunger and preventable disease in impoverished regions, classifies Hilfiger as a Millennium Promise MDG Global Leader,^[62] and in 2009 Hilfiger made a five-year $2 million commitment to Millennium Promise.^[63] The donation went towards relief efforts in a Ugandan city, with the aim of improving residents’ access to necessities like clean water, education, and farming techniques.^[64]

In 2012, all philanthropic activities of The Tommy Hilfiger Corporate Foundation were renamed Tommy Cares, a wider-reaching global initiative that further integrates the brand’s non-profit partnerships, charitable contributions, and employee involvement.^[65] On a global scale, Tommy Cares continues to support organizations such as Save the Children, the World Wildlife Fund, War Child,^[66] and Millennium Promise.^[66] Hilfiger and his wife are on the board of Autism Speaks as of 2012,^[67] and through the organization, Hilfiger became a sponsor of the Golden Door Film Festival in September 2014.^[68]

Hilfiger has continuously cited the important role inclusivity, diversity and self-expression have had in the brand’s development and contributions to pop culture.

In 2016, Hilfiger also echoed his support for dressing Melania Trump, telling WWD that «any designer should be proud to dress her.»

In 2020, Hilfiger sold his 22.4 acre estate in Greenwich, Connecticut, for $47.5 million.^[69]

Style and impact[edit]

While Hilfiger’s earliest designs drew on 1960s counterculture and fashion, since the 1980s his designs typically draw from classic American New England styles. His initial lines for the Tommy Hilfiger Corporation were primarily designed to appeal to young men looking for designer clothing,^{[citation needed]} and Tommy Hilfiger became one of the most prominent brands in 1990s sportswear, with Polo Ralph Lauren, Calvin Klein, Nautica, DKNY,^[74] and Donna Karan also popular.^[75] Each of these companies created distinctive wardrobes based upon stylish but wearable, comfortable and interchangeable multi-purpose clothes, all with a focus on luxury.^[75]

Hip hop fashion at large began incorporating the Hilfiger brand in the 1990s,^[74] and when Snoop Doggy Dogg wore a Hilfiger sweatshirt during an appearance on Saturday Night Live, it sold out of New York City stores the next day.^[74] Moreover, Hilfiger courted the new hip hop market, and rappers like Puffy and Coolio walked during his runways shows.^[74] Specific items like Tommy Hilfiger carpenter jeans became particularly popular, with the trademark logo displayed on the hammer loop.^{[74][better source needed]}

Hilfiger continues to maintain multiple fashion lines, some focused on wearable «casual» clothes while others take on various haute couture commissions. Aside from the preppy styles of his youth, Hilfiger has also always been influenced by the style of a wide variety of American icons, including Grace Kelly,^[76] James Dean, Deborah Harry, Iggy Pop, Farrah Fawcett, Steve McQueen, Jackie and John F. Kennedy, and Andy Warhol.^[77][78] Many of his designs draw prominently from the styles of hard rock and the pop music industry.^[3][4]

Personal life[edit]

Hilfiger was born on March 24, 1951, in Elmira, New York,^[79] the second of nine children.^[11] Both of his parents were practicing Catholics.^[80][81] His father Richard was a watchmaker of German-Swiss descent,^[11] and his mother Virginia (née Gerrity)^[82] was a nurse of Irish descent.^[15] Hilfiger also claims direct descent from Gilbert Burns, brother of the Scottish poet Robert Burns.^[83] His family originated from Safenwil, Canton of Aargau, Switzerland with the original spelling of his family name being Hilfiker and being americanized after emigration by his ancestors.^[84][85]

Hilfiger has described his upbringing as very happy. He credits his parents with instilling a good work ethic and compassion for others.^[86] He has dyslexia.^[87] Hilfiger had an early interest in sports, fashion, and the music industry,^[88] a trend that ran in his family.^[38] One of his brothers, Andy Hilfiger, went on to work as a musician and designer, while Hilfiger’s other brother Billy Hilfiger^[82] would join King Flux as a guitarist.^[89]

In 1976, Hilfiger met Susan Cirona, an employee at the People’s Place in Ithaca; they married in 1980.^{[citation needed]} Together they had four children: one son and three daughters.^[67][90] In 2003 Hilfiger’s daughter Ally was part of the MTV reality series Rich Girls. His son, Richard («Ricky Hil»), is a musician. The Hilfigers divorced in 2000.

On December 12, 2008, he married Dee Ocleppo;^[91] the couple had a son in 2009.^[67]

Thomas Jacob Hilfiger (/hɪlˈfɪgər/; born March 24, 1951)^[1] is an American fashion designer and the founder of Tommy Hilfiger Corporation.^[2]

After starting his career by co-founding a chain of jeans/fashion stores called People’s Place in upstate New York in the 1970s, he began designing preppy clothing for his own eponymous menswear line in the 1980s.^{[citation needed]} The company later expanded into women’s clothing and various luxury items such as perfumes and went public in 1992.^{[citation needed]}

Hilfiger’s collections are often influenced by the fashion of music subcultures and marketed in connection with the music industry,^[3][4] with celebrities such as American R&B artist Aaliyah in the 1990s.^[5] In 2005, contestants in the CBS reality show The Cut competed for a design job with Hilfiger in a similar fashion to The Apprentice.^[6] In 2006, Hilfiger sold his company for $1.6 billion to Apax Partners,^[7] who next sold it in 2010 to Phillips-Van Heusen for $3 billion.^[8] He remains the company’s principal designer, leading the design teams and overseeing the entire creative process.^[9] In 2012, Hilfiger was awarded the Geoffrey Beene Lifetime Achievement Award from the Council of Fashion Designers of America.^[10]

Business and fashion career[edit]

Hilfiger graduated from the Elmira Free Academy high school in 1969.^[11] His parents wanted him to get a college education and pursue a traditional career,^[10] and for a time he attended GST BOCES Bush Campus in Elmira.^[12]

People’s Place and early lines (1970s–1983)[edit]

Hilfiger spent the summer of 1969 working in a clothing store on Cape Cod,^[13] and afterwards he decided to use his life savings of $150^[14] to open a clothing store in 1971^{[citation needed]} as People’s Place.^[13] The first store was located in downtown Elmira in what is now the site of First Arena and had a hair salon, a record shop, and rock concerts in the basement.^[13] To stock the store, Hilfiger and a friend drove to New York City to buy clothing such as bell-bottoms, peasant blouses, and leather jackets.^[13] Unsatisfied with this, he began sketching his own designs, and would later write that «designing made me happier than anything I’d ever done. I knew from that early work that designing would be my life.»^[13]

The People’s Place went bankrupt in 1977. Hilfiger enrolled in classes on commerce and the business side of the fashion industry.^[10] After then moving to New York City^[13] and working for several different labels, he set up a company called Tommy Hill in 1979.^[13] One of his first clients was Jordache Jeans,^[10][13] and as Hilfiger’s company expanded beyond denim,^[10] he spent time in India, learning more about his trade: «I would sit in the factory with my pile of sketches and watch them being made, tweaking as I went. There’s no better design school in the world.»^[13] In 1981 he founded the company 20th Century Survival, and the following year he founded Click Point, which designed women’s clothing.^{[citation needed]}

Founding Tommy Hilfiger Inc. (1984–1990s)[edit]

In 1984, Hilfiger was approached by businessman Mohan Murjani,^[15] to pursue his goal of designing and heading a men’s sportswear line.^[10][13] Murjani backed the necessary investment for Hilfiger to establish his own brand.^{[citation needed]} Later Hilfiger oversaw the design of the Coca-Cola clothing line for Murjani.

[Wanting to form my own eponymous line] came from a desire to create something that wasn’t out there already. I was really in tune with the market—I knew what existed, and I wanted this to be different. Maybe it’s the small-town boy in me, but I’ve always loved the prep school look, traditional Ivy League, and the clothes that sailors and jocks wear. I wanted to take these familiar old things and give them a more laid-back attitude, to make them modern and cool…[with Tommy Hilfiger Corporation in 1985], finally, I felt like I was doing work that felt natural, that felt good. The brand we were building felt so honest, so true to who I am, that it didn’t feel like a struggle at all.

— Tommy Hilfiger in 2010^[13]

In 1985, he founded the Tommy Hilfiger Corporation with support from The Murjani Group. The new clothing line made its debut with a high-profile marketing campaign, for example setting up a large billboard in Times Square^[15] designed by George Lois.^[16] Hilfiger left Murjani International in 1989, with Silas Chou instead providing financial backing to the Hilfiger brand,^{[citation needed]} and former executives of Ralph Lauren brought on board as executives of the newly formed company Tommy Hilfiger, Inc.^{[citation needed]} The Tommy Hilfiger Corporation went public in 1992, introducing Hilfiger’s signature menswear collection.^{[citation needed]} Hilfiger was named Menswear Designer of the Year by the Council of Fashion Designers of America in 1995.^[15][17]

After licensing Pepe Jeans USA in 1995, in 1996, Tommy Hilfiger Inc. began distributing women’s clothing.^{[citation needed]} By the end of 1997 Hilfiger had opened his first store in Beverly Hills. This was followed by a store in London in 1998.^{[citation needed]} Hilfiger was serving as the company’s co-chairman by 1997,^{[citation needed]} and that year he published his first book, titled All American: A Style Book.^{[citation needed]}

Increased brand exposure (1990s–2004)[edit]

A professed lifelong fan of rock and roll, Hilfiger’s collections are often influenced by the fashion of music subcultures. The clothes are also marketed in connection with the music industry,^[3][4] and as early as 1993 Hilfiger was an official sponsor for Pete Townshend’s Psychoderelict tour. Hilfiger has also sponsored several musical events, including Sheryl Crow’s If It Makes You Happy tour in 1997,^[18] Britney Spears 1999 …Baby One More Time Tour as main sponsor,^[19][20] and Lenny Kravitz’s 1999 Freedom tour.^[21] By the mid-1990s, Hilfiger’s style of clothing was popular with both the American «preppy» scene and as hip hop fashion.^[15] American R&B icon Aaliyah became the much-publicized spokesperson for Tommy Hilfiger Corporation in 1997.^[5]

Hilfiger had a cameo in the fashion spoof Zoolander in 2001,^[22] and from 2002 to 2006 Tommy Hilfiger Inc. owned the naming rights to the Tommy Hilfiger at Jones Beach Theatre venue.^[23] Largely due to declining sales in the early 2000s, Hilfiger began reworking the brand, striving to retain the designer brand exclusivity of the Hilfiger label by signing a deal to distribute the best-selling Hilfiger lines at Macy’s only.^[15]

The Tommy Hilfiger Corporation continued to work closely with musicians into the 2000s, focusing on fragrances as well as clothes. Sweetface Fashion, which owns the J.Lo by Jennifer Lopez line,^[24][25][26] was bought out by Tommy Hilfiger in 2003.^[27][28] True Star, a fragrance endorsed by Hilfiger and released in 2004, featured Beyoncé as its poster girl.^[29] The Tommy Hilfiger Corporation company had revenues of approximately $1.8 billion, and 5,400 employees by 2004.^[10]

Media appearances and sale of clothing brand (2005–2011)[edit]

In 2005, a CBS reality show called The Cut tracked the progress of sixteen contestants as they competed for a design job with Tommy Hilfiger and their own fashion line under Hilfiger’s label. The show progressed in a similar fashion to Donald Trump’s The Apprentice. After a final competition that involved setting up the display window for Macy’s Herald Square location in New York, Hilfiger chose Chris Cortez as the «next great American designer.»^[6]

In December 2005, Tommy Hilfiger sold the clothing brand for $1.6 billion, or $16.80 a share, to Apax Partners, a private investment company.^[30][7] The transaction was completed in May 2006.^[31] In 2008 Hilfiger, Rives, and Bar Refaeli co-hosted the Bravo special program Tommy Hilfiger Presents Ironic Iconic America.^[32] Based on the book Ironic Iconic America written by Hilfiger and designer George Lois,^[33] the program examined how pop culture has influenced American tastes and styles.^[34] In 2009 Hilfiger was a guest judge on an episode of Project Runway,^[22] and he presented the Best African Artist award to Akon at the 2010 World Music Awards.^[22]

In March 2010, Phillips-Van Heusen, owner of Calvin Klein and Izod, bought the Tommy Hilfiger brand from Apax Partners for $3 billion.^[8][35] The Tommy Hilfiger online and in-store ad campaign called «Meet The Hilfigers» began in August 2010 and ran through August 2011.^[36] In 2011, Hilfiger and a partner signed a contract to buy the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company Tower building for $170 million, planning to transform it into Hilfiger’s first hotel, with luxury condos. Hilfiger backed off the project in September 2011.^[37] A guest judge on the finale of Project Runway: All Stars along with Neiman Marcus fashion director Ken Downing in 2012,^[22] shortly afterwards he served as a fashion consultant to contestants on season 11 of American Idol.^[38][39]

Recent years and memoir (2012–2016)[edit]

Hilfiger was instrumental in the creation of the Marc Anthony Collection in 2012,^[40] as Marc Anthony had never been interested in the fashion business until Hilfiger called him and convinced him a line was worthwhile.^[41] In 2012, Hilfiger was awarded the Geoffrey Beene Lifetime Achievement Award from the Council of Fashion Designers of America.^[10] Global sales in retail for the brand in 2013 were US$6.4 billion,^[9] and $6.7 billion in 2014.^[42]

Hilfiger remains the company’s principal designer, leading the design teams and overseeing the entire creative process.^[9] In 2016, he collaborated with model Gigi Hadid on clothing designs^[43] launching the TommyXGigi clothing collection.^[44] On February 8, 2017, the brand will hold its ready-to-wear show in Los Angeles, in the first time the brand will not be part of New York Fashion Week.^[45]

In January 2015, Hilfiger announced that he was working on his memoirs.^[46] The book was written chronologically over a year, with Hilfiger explaining «I was hesitant to write it, but thought I better do it now because someday I may forget.»^[47] Co-writer Peter Knobler had full access to interview friends and family, with Hilfiger citing the candor of Diane von Furstenberg’s memoirs as an inspiration.^[47] Calling the writing process «great therapy»^[43] and «interesting,»^[48] Hilfiger asserted that he «wanted to give people a sneak peek of what goes on behind the curtain [of] how the fashion industry works.»^[49] He read selections from the book in June 2016 at the Literacy Partners Evening of Readers and Gala Dinner Dance.^[46]

Hilfiger’s memoir, American Dreamer: My Life in Fashion & Business, co-written with Peter Knobler,^[50] was published in November 2016.^[50][51] In a statement, Hilfiger described it as «a roadmap of the moments that have defined both my [40-year fashion career] and my personal life,»^[52][53] and the book covers his childhood, his early business ventures, and his later life in fashion.^[50] With Kirkus Reviews calling it «an honest, straightforward, mostly entertaining autobiography,»^[54] Hilfiger made an appearance for the book at the Miami Book Fair shortly after its release.^[49] American Dreamer appeared on the New York Times Best Sellers List in December 2016^[55]

Charity work[edit]

In 1995 Hilfiger launched The Tommy Hilfiger Corporate Foundation. With an emphasis on health, educational and cultural programs, the organization supports charities that focus on at-risk American youth.^[56] In 1998^[57] Hilfiger was one of several sponsors along with Moet and Chandon, Christie’s Auction House, and The Advocate of the charity LIFEbeat – The Music Industry Fights AIDS.^[58] He is personally involved in charities and causes such as Autism Speaks and the MLK, Jr. National Memorial Project Foundation,^[16] and he has served on the board of directors for The Fresh Air Fund, a New York-based group that helps underprivileged children attend summer camp.^[16] The Fresh Air Fund’s Camp Pioneer program was renamed Camp Tommy in 1999, in honor of Hilfiger’s patronage.^[59]

Since 2008, Hilfiger has designed limited-edition handbags in support Breast Health International (BHI), an international organization focused on finding a cure for breast cancer. A portion of the handbag sales proceeds is donated to BHI’s Fund For Living program, with celebrity ambassadors appointed for each seasonal campaign. In 2013, Claudia Schiffer and Naomi Campbell modeled the BHI bag in a photoshoot with photographer Patrick Demarchelier.^[60][61]

Millennium Promise, a non-profit organization focused on eradicating extreme poverty, hunger and preventable disease in impoverished regions, classifies Hilfiger as a Millennium Promise MDG Global Leader,^[62] and in 2009 Hilfiger made a five-year $2 million commitment to Millennium Promise.^[63] The donation went towards relief efforts in a Ugandan city, with the aim of improving residents’ access to necessities like clean water, education, and farming techniques.^[64]

In 2012, all philanthropic activities of The Tommy Hilfiger Corporate Foundation were renamed Tommy Cares, a wider-reaching global initiative that further integrates the brand’s non-profit partnerships, charitable contributions, and employee involvement.^[65] On a global scale, Tommy Cares continues to support organizations such as Save the Children, the World Wildlife Fund, War Child,^[66] and Millennium Promise.^[66] Hilfiger and his wife are on the board of Autism Speaks as of 2012,^[67] and through the organization, Hilfiger became a sponsor of the Golden Door Film Festival in September 2014.^[68]

Hilfiger has continuously cited the important role inclusivity, diversity and self-expression have had in the brand’s development and contributions to pop culture.

In 2016, Hilfiger also echoed his support for dressing Melania Trump, telling WWD that «any designer should be proud to dress her.»

In 2020, Hilfiger sold his 22.4 acre estate in Greenwich, Connecticut, for $47.5 million.^[69]

Style and impact[edit]

While Hilfiger’s earliest designs drew on 1960s counterculture and fashion, since the 1980s his designs typically draw from classic American New England styles. His initial lines for the Tommy Hilfiger Corporation were primarily designed to appeal to young men looking for designer clothing,^{[citation needed]} and Tommy Hilfiger became one of the most prominent brands in 1990s sportswear, with Polo Ralph Lauren, Calvin Klein, Nautica, DKNY,^[74] and Donna Karan also popular.^[75] Each of these companies created distinctive wardrobes based upon stylish but wearable, comfortable and interchangeable multi-purpose clothes, all with a focus on luxury.^[75]

Hip hop fashion at large began incorporating the Hilfiger brand in the 1990s,^[74] and when Snoop Doggy Dogg wore a Hilfiger sweatshirt during an appearance on Saturday Night Live, it sold out of New York City stores the next day.^[74] Moreover, Hilfiger courted the new hip hop market, and rappers like Puffy and Coolio walked during his runways shows.^[74] Specific items like Tommy Hilfiger carpenter jeans became particularly popular, with the trademark logo displayed on the hammer loop.^{[74][better source needed]}

Hilfiger continues to maintain multiple fashion lines, some focused on wearable «casual» clothes while others take on various haute couture commissions. Aside from the preppy styles of his youth, Hilfiger has also always been influenced by the style of a wide variety of American icons, including Grace Kelly,^[76] James Dean, Deborah Harry, Iggy Pop, Farrah Fawcett, Steve McQueen, Jackie and John F. Kennedy, and Andy Warhol.^[77][78] Many of his designs draw prominently from the styles of hard rock and the pop music industry.^[3][4]

Personal life[edit]

Hilfiger was born on March 24, 1951, in Elmira, New York,^[79] the second of nine children.^[11] Both of his parents were practicing Catholics.^[80][81] His father Richard was a watchmaker of German-Swiss descent,^[11] and his mother Virginia (née Gerrity)^[82] was a nurse of Irish descent.^[15] Hilfiger also claims direct descent from Gilbert Burns, brother of the Scottish poet Robert Burns.^[83] His family originated from Safenwil, Canton of Aargau, Switzerland with the original spelling of his family name being Hilfiker and being americanized after emigration by his ancestors.^[84][85]

Hilfiger has described his upbringing as very happy. He credits his parents with instilling a good work ethic and compassion for others.^[86] He has dyslexia.^[87] Hilfiger had an early interest in sports, fashion, and the music industry,^[88] a trend that ran in his family.^[38] One of his brothers, Andy Hilfiger, went on to work as a musician and designer, while Hilfiger’s other brother Billy Hilfiger^[82] would join King Flux as a guitarist.^[89]

In 1976, Hilfiger met Susan Cirona, an employee at the People’s Place in Ithaca; they married in 1980.^{[citation needed]} Together they had four children: one son and three daughters.^[67][90] In 2003 Hilfiger’s daughter Ally was part of the MTV reality series Rich Girls. His son, Richard («Ricky Hil»), is a musician. The Hilfigers divorced in 2000.

On December 12, 2008, he married Dee Ocleppo;^[91] the couple had a son in 2009.^[67]

Ссылки по теме:

Наш модный словарь продолжает пополняться полезностями. На этот запоминаем, как звучат на великом и могучем названия ведущих домов моды и имена всемирно известных дизайнеров. Неправильные варианты озвучивать не будем: пусть в зрительной памяти и на слуху останется только то, что верно.

Грамотная разминка

Несколько ценных подсказок по русскому языку на модно-подиумную тему:

Названия, написанные латиницей, кавычек не требуют. Пишем: новая коллекция Louis Vuitton, украшения SUNLIGHT, в бутике Moschino.

В словосочетаниях «модный дом», «дом моды» оба слова пишутся со строчной (маленькой) буквы: дом моды Chanel, модный дом Lanvin.

Названия недель мод пишутся следующим образом: Нью-Йоркская неделя моды, Неделя моды в Нью-Йорке (аналогично и другие: Миланская неделя моды, Неделя моды в Милане). Если географическая привязка опущена или названа иносказательно, то выражение «неделя моды» пишется со строчной буквы.

Напоминаем, что мы сегодня тренируем произношение, а не орфографию: произносится «Ив Сэн-ЛорАн», «ИзабЭль МарАн», а пишется «Ив Сен-Лоран», «Изабель Маран», не перепутайте! А мы тем временем готовим для вас третью часть модного словаря, посвященную названиям косметических и парфюмерных брендов. Не пропустите!

Блогер Marina Mogilko, изучающая английский язык и живущая в данный момент США, сняла видео, где рассказывает о правильном произношении названий известных марок, будь то марки одежды, обуви или косметики. Оказывается, все это время многие из названий мы произносили неправильно! Проверьте и обязательно запомните!

1. Tommy Hilfiger – американская марка одежды. Читается как «Томми Хилфигер» (ударение на первую «и»).
2. Levi’s – американская марка одежды и обуви. Произносится «Ливайс» (ударение на «а»), а не «Левис», как большинство из нас привыкли говорить.
