15/07/2005

Tommy Hilfiger Europe B.V., a subsidiary of Tommy Hilfiger Corporation, has opened a new office, showroom and retail store complex in Milan. The new commercial complex will house offices, showrooms, a retail store, and an adjacent concept entertainment space. It marks the introduction of the company's first retail location in Milan.

 

"We are proud to present our new home for Tommy Hilfiger in Italy, and see this as the next significant step in establishing a stronger presence for the company in the Italian market. We believe a central Milan headquarters for our wholesale and retail operations in Italy will truly anchor the company's position in this most critical of fashion markets," said Fred Gehring, chief executive officer of Tommy Hilfiger Europe. "With the start of our first direct selling season in the showroom in July, followed by the opening of our first Milan retail store in September, this is the first step in developing Italy into a significant European market for the company."
