Fans were quick to remind Hilfiger of his company’s success in the 90s.
“Yet that’s how he’s sold most of his jeans for the last 30 years, #TLC and #AALIYAH made his brand famous like this. Ungrateful a** #TommyHilfiger”
“How dare you to say that women look terrible in baggy jeans who the f*** asked for your opinion. You look like a Muppet, wearing a blue velour suit, you look ridiculous! Can we say dumb and dumber?”
The iconic designer was at the Old Bags luncheon in Palm Beach, Florida, where his wife Dee Ocleppo Hilfiger was being honored when he shared his distaste for the cut of denim.
Hilfiger, who is known for his preppy clothing, also commented on the colorful clothing seen more often in Florida.
“In New York we like to wear black,” he said, “My clothes actually sell better in Florida, California, Texas places like that. A lot of tourists are buying my clothes in New York and they take them back from wherever they come in from.”
