After building a rich career in fashion, famed American designer Tommy Hilfiger tells us the story of his life in a book entitled “American Dreamer: My Life in Fashion and Business”.

Three decades ago, he designed his first collection of “classics with a twist” and became synonymous with All-American Style. The way he constantly changes the trends explains his ever-lasting mark on global culture.

His dyslexia never stopped him from being a dreamer, as he always had the vision and the will to make his dream come true. After opening his own clothing store at eighteen, his instinct for style made him a successful fashion designer. It’s all thanks to his positive view of the world.

In addition to the designer’s autobiography, this book gives us insights into the exclusive A-List personalities with whom he’s collaborated, from Mick Jagger and David Bowie to Ralph Lauren and Calvin Klein. Through this stunning work, Tommy takes us behind the scenes of every decision and every mistake he has ever made and offers us advice on leadership, business, team-building and creativity from his own experience.

By telling us his story in his own words, he proves that sometimes we have to dream big in order to make it big.
