Summary:
"Few designers have stayed on top of changing trends the way Tommy Hilfiger has. Since designing his first collection of "classics with a twist" three decades ago, he has been synonymous with all-American style, but his destiny wasn't always so clear. Growing up one of nine children in a working-class family in Elmira, New York, Tommy suffered from dyslexia, flunked sophomore year of high school, and found himself constantly at odds with his father. Nevertheless, this self-described
dreamer
had a vision and the relentless will to make it a reality. At eighteen he opened his own clothing store, parlaying his uncanny instinct for style into a budding career as a
fashion
designer. Through decades of triumph and turmoil, Tommy remained doggedly optimistic. To this day, his approach to commerce is rooted in his positive view of the world. Filled with anecdotes that cover Tommy's years as a club kid and scrappy entrepreneur in 1970s New York and stories of the personalities with whom he's collaborated and interacted, from Mick Jagger and David Bowie to Ralph Lauren and Calvin Klein. A
fashion
icon's memoir and a road map for building a brand, both professionally and personally. Tommy takes us behind the scenes of every decision and every mistake he's made, offering advice on leadership,
business
, teambuilding, and creativity."--Provided by publisher.
