| WHY: | This celebration will preview
Iconic America; A Roller-Coaster Ride Through the Eye-Popping Panorama of American Pop
Culture (Universe; November 2007; ISBN: 978-0-7893-1573-1; $60.00). The book,
inspired by Tommy Hilfiger's passion for Americana and George Lois' provocative visual power,
presents a mosaic of over 400 iconic and iconoclastic images uniquely juxtaposed on its pages from
the melting pot of the American experience. The images compel Americans to question who we are,
what we stand for, and perhaps, where we should be heading. Not only does Iconic America celebrate
the snap, crackle, and pop of American popular culture, it offers a poignant and compelling
commentary on America.
Available November 6, Tommy Hilfiger will donate $5 to the U.S. Fund for UNICEF for every copy of the book Iconic America and each item of the capsule collection sold at Tommy Hilfiger stores. Fifty percent of that will go towards helping the children of the world and fifty percent towards educating American children about the world. |
