Tommy Hilfiger is an American clothing retailer headquartered out of Cheung Sha Wan, Hong Kong, New Jersey, and Amsterdam, that was founded in 1982 by Thomas Jacob "Tommy" Hilfiger (b. 1951).
In 2013, Hilfiger released a line of designer Muppet T-shirts, which pictured Muppet characters wearing clothes from Hilfiger's spring/summer 2013 collection. In an article from British Vogue, Miss Piggy spoke warmly about the designer: "Moi adores working with Tommy on the Muppets collection," she said. "Not only is he talented, elegant and gracious, but he does all the work. All moi has to do is tell him what I think about the designs and Tommy takes care of all of it! Isn't that fabulous?"
