Tommy Hilfiger Cancels Men’s Fashion Show: Although Tommy Hilfiger's menswear accounts for 60 percent of sales, the designer has chosen to cancel his men's runway show during Fashion Week in September. “We’ve made a strategic decision to focus our attention during New York Fashion Week on our women’s business," Avery Baker, chief marketing officer for the Tommy Hilfiger Group, said. "Men’s wear remains at the heart of the Tommy Hilfiger brand, and we will continue to develop innovative ways to present our men’s collections through channels that speak directly to consumers.” Instead of a runway show, the Tommy Hilfiger brand plans to reach customers through innovative "seasonal marketing programs."
