Iconic American fashion designer Tommy Hilfiger, would be in India

for three days starting September 26 to a decade of his brand's successful existence in the country. He will be a host to special events in New Delhi and Mumbai. The first Tommy Hilfiger store in the country opened in April 2004 at Bangalore's Forum Mall.

After his first trip to India in the 1980s, he visited India several times. His official tour this time will commence in the capital, with an exclusive VIP dinner hosted by philanthropist and patron of the arts, Feroze Gujral, at her residence. Next day, he will attend a press event at the Tommy Hilfiger Select Citywalk store with Bollywood actress and fashionista Sonam Kapoor. The designer has also been invited to the National Institute of Fashion Technology (NIFT) as a guest speaker, where he will share his experiences in building a global fashion brand with aspiring design students.

On the evening of September 27, Hilfiger will host the Tommy Hilfiger brand's official 10th anniversary celebration event at The Leela Palace in Delhi and then on September 28, he will travel to Mumbai to attend a private event. The multi-day programme will highlight the Tommy Hilfiger brand's most notable moments and achievements throughout its 10 years in India. Also, to commemorate the brand's milestone in the country, and to honour the country's long tradition of celebratory dress, two exclusive limited-edition designs will be introduced: a shawl for women and a traditional men's bandi.
