Tribal Hijacking and Chasing Trends1992 – Rapper Grand Puba calls

Tommy Hilfiger “top gear.”Tommy embraces the hip-hop community’s love of his clothing.1994 – Snoop Dogg wears a Tommy rugby shirt on Saturday Night Live.1996 – Tommy Jeans launches, as well as a women’s line inspired by Aaliyah.2000s – Rappers begin to abandon Tommy for similar brands launched by fellow artists.

Bad Press and Lack of InclusionIn 1996 a chain email stating that Tommy Hilfiger had appeared on Oprah and made racist remarks began circulating.

“I wish those people would not buy my clothes - they were made for upper-class whites.”

In 2007 Hilfiger appeared on Oprah, where it was confirmed that he had never appeared on the show before.In 2016 sensationalist headlines proclaimed that Tommy said that Gigi Hadid was too fat to walk in his show.

Other IssuesGoing from private to public

Going public led to over supplying the demandWent private again in 2006, selling the company to Apex and then to PVH Corp in 2010Led to unconventional restructuring changes such as: raised prices, smaller clothing, alienating customers and cutting off stores

International success despite being an “all-American“ brandGrowth from the past years has been credited towards Int’al sales North America sales (-10%) and revenue (-5%)International sales (+8%) and revenue (+11%)

Factory fire in Bangladesh2012 fire led to the death of 29 workersAfterwards the company committed to $1 million to improve safety standards
