The preppy lifestyle has gone global. We feel that our business has grown so well because preppy travels so well. It's all-American classic.

The preppy look has gone global- every corner of the world interprets it in a different way.

No one is an inventor in the fashion business. Designers recreate fashion.

The road to success is not easy to navigate, but with hard work, drive and passion, it's possible to achieve the American dream.

If I see someone wearing Hilfiger it makes me proud, but then I wonder what I could do to make the style more relevant for them next year?

My rule of thumb is to strike a balance by sticking to the classics and playing with color, texture, and print to give them a modern update. On any given day, I keep it simple with jeans or chinos and a comfortable dress shirt.

I currently live in the Plaza in New York and I love it - all that history, all those interesting stories.
