DESCRIPTION:
Since designing his first collection of "classics with a twist" three decades ago, Tommy Hilfiger has been synonymous with all-American style - but his destiny wasn't always so clear. To this day his approach to commerce is rooted in his positive view of the world. But this is more than just a fashion icon's memoir - it's a road map for building a brand, both professionally and personally. Fewer still have left such an indelible mark on global culture. At 18 he opened his own clothing store, parlaying his uncanny instinct for style into a budding career as a fashion designer. This is the story of a true American original, told for the first time in his own words, with honesty, humor, and the insatiable appetite for life and style that proves that sometimes you have to dream big to make it big..

H.A.Y. said THE book for the dreamer in all of us!. I give this book five stars for being a smooth, interesting read, and a trip down memory lane to the fun filled 70's of which I was a part of. As a business person myself, I also give it five stars for great insight, determination and a candid look at what it takes to build a business, win, loose and draw! Well done!
