Tommy Hilfiger & Dee Occlepo

Tommy Hilfiger is the man behind one of the fashion industry’s biggest brands. He founded the Tommy Hilfiger Corporation back in the 1970s as a chain of jeans and fashion stores in upstate New York. Hilfiger managed to quickly expand into producing women’s clothing and several luxury items such as perfumes. Since then, the Tommy Hilfiger brand has successfully become a giant player in the fashion industry.

One could argue that the pioneer’s life is synonymous with fashion. In turn, it wasn’t a surprise when he got married to a fellow fashion designer. Tommy Hilfiger’s wife is Dee Ocleppo, and she’s a former fashion model who became a financier. Besides being a successful commodities broker, Dee is also an incredibly savvy entrepreneur. Interestingly, Dee also owns her own fashion brand in which Hilfiger is a brand advisor. Tommy must be excellent in investment planning as his company and Dee’s brand continue to dominate the fashion industry today.
