Business and fashion career
Hilfiger graduated from the Elmira Free Academy high school in 1969.<ref name="thbiotwo_dbestsotries" /> His parents wanted him to get a college education and pursue a traditional career,<ref name="thbiotwo_gbusinessofashion" /> and for a time he attended GST BOCES Bush Campus in Elmira.<ref name="bocesbushcampus" />
People's Place and early lines (1970s–1983)
Hilfiger spent the summer of 1969 working in a clothing store on Cape Cod,<ref name="TCBIO6" /> and afterwards he decided to use his life savings of $150<ref name="people'splaces" /> to open a clothing store in 1971Template:Citation needed as People's Place.<ref name="TCBIO6" /> 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.<ref name="TCBIO6" /> 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.<ref name="TCBIO6" /> 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."<ref name="TCBIO6" />
The People's Place went bankrupt in 1977. Hilfiger enrolled in classes on commerce and the business side of the fashion industry.<ref name="thbiotwo_gbusinessofashion" /> After then moving to New York City<ref name="TCBIO6" /> and working for several different labels, he set up a company called Tommy Hill in 1979.<ref name="TCBIO6" /> One of his first clients was Jordache Jeans,<ref name="thbiotwo_gbusinessofashion" /><ref name="TCBIO6" /> and as Hilfiger's company expanded beyond denim,<ref name="thbiotwo_gbusinessofashion" /> 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."<ref name="TCBIO6" /> In 1981 he founded the company 20th Century Survival, and the following year he founded Click Point, which designed women's clothing.Template:Citation needed

Recent years and memoir (2012–2016)
| "One year, my brother Andy brought the sons and daughters of rock and Hollywood legends on a tour bus (including Mark Ronson, Kidada Jones, and Kate Hudson) and threw fashion shows all over the country... we did [runway shows at] Madison Square Garden with Bush playing live, Pharrell at Bryant Park, and Lenny Kravitz in Paris. We had Treach on the runway in London, with Kate Moss and Naomi Campbell dancing around him. I've dressed the Rolling Stones for [their 1998 "No Security"] tour, and working with Mick Jagger and the band was such a great experience." |

Criticisms
Hilfiger has been criticized for having manufactured clothes in sweatshop conditions in the United States territory of Saipan in the Northern Mariana Islands.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> As a U.S. Commonwealth, clothes made there can be labeled "Made in the USA", but federal labor laws, including the minimum wage, do not apply. In March 2000, the company, along with other defendants, settled a class action suit brought by Saipanese garment workers, which had alleged mistreatment by over twenty large U.S. clothing manufacturers.
Style and impact
While Hilfiger's earliest designs drew on 1960s counterculture and fashion, since the 1980s his designs typically draw from classic American New England preppy styles. His initial lines for the Tommy Hilfiger Corporation were primarily designed to appeal to young men looking for designer clothing,Template:Citation needed and Tommy Hilfiger became one of the most prominent brands in 1990s sportswear, with Polo Ralph Lauren, Calvin Klein, Nautica, DKNY,<ref name="vibe282" /> and Donna Karan also popular.<ref name=nyf /> Each of these companies created distinctive wardrobes based upon stylish but wearable, comfortable and interchangeable multi-purpose clothes, all with a focus on luxury.<ref name=nyf />
Hip hop fashion at large began incorporating the Hilfiger brand in the 1990s,<ref name="vibe282" /> and when Snoop Dogg wore a Hilfiger sweatshirt during an appearance on Saturday Night Live, it sold out of New York City stores the next day.<ref name="vibe282" /> Moreover, Hilfiger courted the new hip hop market, and rappers like Puffy and Coolio walked during his runways shows.<ref name="vibe282" /> Specific items like Tommy Hilfiger carpenter jeans became particularly popular, with the trademark logo displayed on the hammer loop.<ref name="vibe282" />Template: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,<ref name="jacobs201005" /> James Dean, Deborah Harry, Iggy Pop, Farrah Fawcett, Steve McQueen, Jackie and John F. Kennedy, and Andy Warhol.<ref name="TCBIO12" /><ref name="TCBIO14" /> Many of his designs draw prominently from the styles of hard rock and the pop music industry.<ref name="TCBIO15" /><ref name="TCBIO16" />
Personal life
In 1976, Hilfiger met Susan Cirona, an employee at the People's Place in Ithaca; they married in 1980.Template:Citation needed Together they had four children: one son and three daughters.<ref name="bsticthingogeter" /><ref>Template:Cite web</ref> In 2003, Hilfiger's daughter Ally was part of the MTV reality series Rich Girls.
