FASHION: Tommy Hilfiger 25 And Still Rocking

During Tommy Hilfiger's first ever visit to Denmark in honor of his brand's recent 25th anniversary he commented on how his fashion sense and inspiration have gone hand-in-hand with music.

Lenny & Tommy

"The musicians inspire me and I wanted a cool, classic look that musicians would wear that the public would also wear."-Tommy Hilfiger.


Most famous was his 1999-collaboration with Lenny Kravitz for the Freedom Tour and use of the rock icon in his advertising campaign. "As an artist, he (Lenny Kravitz) represents the true essence of freedom - his individuality, self-expression and incredible style and vision are unrivaled. It is all of these elements that served as inspiration for my new fragrances and my last several collections."

In turn Lenny had this to say on Tommy's approach to fashion design, "Tommy Hilfiger always struck me as not being afraid to defy boundaries and attempt new things." "For me, freedom is the gift of free expression without bounds, and the art of being true to oneself."
