  • TOMMY HILFIGER CORPORATION 2005 Annual Report
    TOMMY HILFIGER CORPORATION 2005 Annual Report We accomplished many of our goals in fiscal 2005 and believe the Company is positioned for continued progress in fiscal 2006. DEAR SHAREHOLDERS, Last year we stated that our primary objective was to restore Tommy Hilfiger to a high- growth, high-return company. While we still have a significant amount to accomplish, this goal remains firmly in place. In fiscal 2005, we made considerable strides in achiev- ing many of our objectives, including growing our European business, restructuring the U.S. wholesale operation, reinvigorating our product assortment, and evolving the Company into a multi-brand, multi-channel enterprise. These steps are crucial to posi- tioning the Company for improved operating performance over the long term. EUROPE: SOLID MARKET POSITIONING One of our biggest success stories is our European division, where we continue to experience significant growth. In fiscal 2005, Europe grew at a very solid clip, as evidenced by an approximate 21% revenue increase in constant currency. Growth continues to be multi-dimensional, fueled by revenue increases in new and existing wholesale accounts, an expanding retail base, and penetration in underserved markets such as Eastern Europe, Russia, France, and Scandinavia. Germany and Spain remain our largest markets, accounting for approximately 40% of our European sales. In April 2005, we purchased our Italian distributor so that we would be better positioned to grow our presence in Italy. We believe there is a tremendous opportuni- ty to capture increased share in both the retail and wholesale segments in this market. We expect Tommy Hilfiger Europe to remain a primary growth vehicle in the upcoming year, as we benefit from premium brand positioning, a pan-European distri- bution strategy and highly experienced management team.

  • Tommy Hilfiger in the Age of Mass Customization
    The June 1995 issue of Bobbin, a garment industry trade journal, contained interviews with a number of high-ranking executives from the top forty apparel companies in the U.S. Each was asked to make some predictions about the industry and the challenges facing it in the run-up to the millennium. Of the primary concerns these industry leaders expressed, the first related to the organization of labor: they were clear about the need for continued downsizing, particularly within the domestic side of manufacturing. The second related to product development-they saw the need, in essence, to speed up the industry's process of product design, manufacture, and distribution in order to satisfy the ever changing and accelerating demands of retail outlets and their customers.' These two areas of concern reflect the bipolar nature of the industry in the 1990s and in the era of the so-called globalization of economic processes. On the one hand, the "global" economy, dominated by Northern nations, is in the process of shifting the place of production to the South or the Third World, with the aim of reducing the costs of variable capital; in other words, core labor is being located on the periphery. On the other hand, or simultaneously, the place of consumption-and, of course, capital concentration-becomes ever more centralized in the North itself, opening up new channels of product distribution, marketing, and retailing. In terms of the disposition of world labor power, then, this is a moment of redefinition, or of the search for a renewed vitality in capitalist rates of profit, and it is coincident with the tendency to abandon the old liberal productivist economic order and move toward the ideal, or the fantasy, of global capitalism.
