TOMMY HILFIGER BRINGS CELEBRATED FOOTBALLER THIERRY HENRY TO THE U.S.

New York, NY / Amsterdam, NL (August 2007) - Tommy Hilfiger Group announced today that it is bringing European footballer, international sports sensation and trendsetter, Thierry Henry, to the U.S. this fall by way of a limited-edition "Capsule Collection" and supporting global advertising campaign. Henry, arguably one of the world's greatest soccer stars, signed as global ambassador for the Tommy Hilfiger label in November 2006, and has been the inspiration for Hilfiger-designed tailoring (suiting), sportswear and formal footwear, which makes its U.S. debut with the capsule collection. Proceeds from all sales will be donated to 'THe One 4 All Foundation', Henry's official charity initiative, dedicated to promote projects against racism and social inequality.

The capsule collection, which will be sold exclusively at the Tommy Hilfiger flagship store in SoHo, New York City, in October, is an important design benchmark for the brand and highlights Tommy's unique themes of simplicity and elegance that will drive future collections. The Collection, made with rich fabrics and a tonal color palette of grey, black and brown, is adorned with signature design twists and details characteristic of Tommy Hilfiger. Other Collection items feature a collegiate emblem based around Thierry's jersey number, 14, and are infused with a sense of sport and style through the selection of fabrics, treatments and detailing.

The Capsule Collection will also be sold at select Tommy Hilfiger stores worldwide.

"Thierry Henry, our global brand ambassador, is the utter personification of the Tommy Hilfiger label and an ideal subject for an inspired line of our clothing," says Tommy Hilfiger. "He is known the world over as cool, elegant and refined on and off the field and is a natural fit for our global campaign.  Henry and his striking ads will impact our U.S. audience and fashion lovers across the world."

The striking, bold print ad campaign, shot in London by renowned fashion photographer Nathaniel Goldberg, is an appeal to discerning, fashion-conscious men, capturing the relaxed elegance and debonair of the famed French forward and the capsule collection Henry inspires. The ads, breaking elsewhere in the world in September, appear in the U.S. in October.

The U.S. introduction of the capsule collection and advertising creative marks a new phase for the milestone global campaign at a time when the stateside marketability of international footballers like Henry and local popularity of the sport of football (soccer) are at their peak - particularly among young male sophisticates, the core demographic for the capsule collection and the Tommy Hilfiger label overall.

"I am delighted to be the global ambassador for the Tommy Hilfiger label and am thrilled that this ad campaign is debuting in the United States," remarked Thierry Henry. "I have no doubt that this signature collection will resonate with fans of Tommy Hilfiger designs and help to raise awareness and funds for the aims of my Foundation. I hope it draws even more of the country's attention to the popularity of international soccer."
