I discovered Tommy Hilfiger after most people – but I remain a fan.<\/h1>\n

In my business, I work with many teens. \u00a0In ’96, the affluent ones wore Calvin Klein. \u00a0By ’97 or ’98, though, many wore Tommy. \u00a0His red, white and blue logo was small, yet prominent, on many items.<\/p>\n

One theme of this blog is how I’m habitually a latecomer to many scenes. \u00a0I didn’t actually own any Tommy until sometime in the mid 00s – long after my students had mostly switched to other brands. \u00a0I’m sure I remember buying my Tommy pants off a wide table at Costco. \u00a0I have some of his socks as well.<\/p>\n

In my world, Tommy was the last “solo” designer I saw people wear. \u00a0For years now, the teens have worn companies’ labels, but not peoples’ names. \u00a0It’s another example of how solo efforts are getting rare nowadays.<\/p>\n

Hilfiger had a reality show – centered on designing clothes, of course – in 2005 called\u00a0The Cut.<\/em> \u00a0It was similar in format to Trump’s Apprentice –<\/em> which I like very much. \u00a0However, Hilfiger’s might have been even better. \u00a0As I recall, Tommy put in less air time each episode than Donald does. \u00a0Tommy, like Donald, eliminated a contestant each week. Tommy’s cut line was “You’re out of style: \u00a0Take the catwalk.” \u00a0He had a grittier style than Donald, and talked less. \u00a0The Cut was, I think, a summer show. \u00a0I always hoped it would return. \u00a0To my knowledge, it never did – I’ve always wondered why not.<\/p>\n

Tommy, you had your part in defining the late 90s for me. \u00a0I still see your clothes. \u00a0Will we be seeing you front and centre again?<\/p>\n
