\n\t\u201cIt goes without saying that Tommy Hilfiger<\/a> is a true gentleman and the visionary behind one of the most iconic and influential brands of our time,\u201d said actor and entrepreneur Patrick Schwarzenegger, who presented the FNAA<\/a> Lifetime Achievement Award to the American designer and philanthropist on Wednesday evening in New York City at Cipriani 25 Broadway. \u201cFor nearly four decades, Tommy has defined classic American cool style, and continues to revolutionize the fashion industry by building a global label that breaks boundaries.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tSchwarzenegger and his wife Abby Champion fronted the Tommy Hilfiger<\/a> fall 2024 ad campaign, and are the stars of upcoming campaigns for the brand. It was when Schwarzenegger got more personal that one learns how down-to-earth Hilfiger<\/a> is, as well as his generous nature. <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cWatching him lead by example with creativity, integrity and genuine respect for everyone that\u2019s around him is one of the greatest learning experiences that I\u2019ve had thus far in my career. Beyond being a true visionary, Tommy\u2019s an extraordinary partner, a mentor and a leader. He dedicates his time and his energy to projects that make a real difference in fashion, philanthropy and across culture,\u201d the actor said.<\/p>\n

\n\tTo Schwarzenegger\u2019s point, when Hilfiger accepted his award, his first thought was a congratulations to all of the FNAA<\/a> 2025 honorees, and then he proceeded to thank his partners and collaborators for \u201crepresenting my brand.\u201d He also gave a shout out to Marc Fisher and Susan Itzkowitz of Marc Fisher Footwear \u201cfor your excellence in developing products and making our footwear business thrive.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tAs for his 40 years in the business, Hilfiger said: \u201cI\u2019ve been able to stay in the cusp of pop culture. And what I always thought was that if I were to stay connected to pop culture and stay connected to fashion, art, music, entertainment and sports. it would power the brand.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tHilfiger went on to note that \u201cFootwear News has been the voice of this industry for decades, celebrating visionaries, tastemakers and risk takers. To receive this Lifetime Achievement Award, I really appreciate it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tFor Hilfiger, shoes have played \u2014 and continue to play \u2014 an important role in the growth of the Tommy Hilfiger<\/a> brand. Hilfiger, who admits to being a sneaker fanatic since the age of 12, has been working with U.S. shoe partner Marc Fisher Footwear to build out a line of footwear to complement his casual lifestyle sensibility.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe designer and philanthropist<\/a> also won the FNAA Collaborator of the Year Award in 2019<\/a>. And as one of the premier global American brands, Hilfiger\u2019s classic, casual American style has resonated well with consumers everywhere, catapulting the brand to worldwide retail sales, including licensing operations, of about $9 billion in 2024. The brand was acquired by PVH Corp. in 2010 for $3 billion.<\/p>\n

\n\tHilfiger\u2019s energy and role in evolving his eponymous label over a 40 year period \u2014 while still retaining its core DNA of classic American cool \u2014 earns him recognition for his lifetime achievement<\/a> in the shoe industry.<\/p>\n

\n\tFor 39 years, the annual FN Achievement Awards \u2014 often called the \u201cShoe Oscars\u201d \u2014 have celebrated the style stars, best brand stories, ardent philanthropists, emerging talents and industry veterans. The 2025 event is supported by Caleres, Listrak, Nordstrom, Skechers, Vibram and Wolverine Worldwide.<\/p>\n
