Recession? Yes, but we will always have T-shirts and jeans. At least that is how the designer Tommy Hilfiger sees it. “Rich or poor, young or old and regardless of size and heritage, denim is for everyone and a staple,” said Hilfiger during a WWD interview. So, what better way to prove that point than exporting a little classic Americana to the shores of Italy. The designer opened a 3,500-square-foot retail space on the bustling corner of Corso Buenos Aires, Milan, which will house his entire jeans collection, as well as accessories and outwear. What makes the spot ideal besides the retail thoroughfare? The fabulous ground floor space, and its 10 large arched street-side widows that showcase all of the classic American-inspired pieces Hilfiger is so famous for. Grazie Bene Tommy!
If wearing Jeans and T-shirt is cool, consider me Miles Davis!
