Fashion designer Tommy Hilfiger has just announced the hiring of designer Simon Spurr, known for his good work alongside Hedi Slimane in the menswear collections of Yves Saint Laurent, Calvin Klein and Ralph Lauren. Now he takes over, as creative consultant, the male line of Tommy.
* Just like Peter Som, who coordinates the creation of the female line, Spurr assumes the post this week and the first collection under his direction will be the winter of 2011/12. The designer was one of the finalists in the Vogue / CFDA in 2009 and won the Swarovski Award this year. Good job for him!
