Tommy Hilfiger TV Time
By John Clarke Jr. June 25, 2008
Without a doubt, Tommy Hilfiger is on a roll. First he announces plans to open a 22,000-square-foot "global flagship" on Manhattan's Fifth Avenue in November, then he gets a 14% boost in quarterly sales thanks to a push in Europe and Asia, and now he's getting his television special. Hilfiger and Radical Media inked the deal this week with Bravo for a one-hour showcase based on Hilfiger and George Lois' book Iconic America.
The Bravo special, called “Tommy Hilfiger Presents Ironic Iconic America,” is scheduled for October. Much to joy of every red-blooded American male, Israeli model Bar Refaeli will host, along with Rives from Def Poetry Jam. Rives? No, I don’t know who he is either. He bills himself as “storyteller, writer, and slam poet,” which just sounds exhausting.
