Tommy Repositions
Hong Kong– based Tommy Hilfiger laid off about 200 employees in the United States in an effort to reposition and streamline the company. Other efforts include changing each wholesale division to have dedicated design, merchandising and production staff members who report to a division president. The company also changed its menswear division to include Tommy Hilfiger Flag, which includes casual sportswear and denim, and Tommy Hilfiger Crest, which includes a new dress casual collection. The company will fold its young men’s jeans division into the Tommy Hilfiger sportswear division.
