Tommy Hilfiger (Thomas Jacob Hilfiger, born March 24, 1951) is an American fashion designer and founder of the premium lifestyle brand Tommy Hilfiger Corporation.
Hilfiger was born in Elmira, New York. The second of nine children of a jeweler and an Irish-American nurse, he grew up in an German-Swiss/Irish-American family. Hilfiger also claims direct descendence from the Scottish poet Robert Burns. His parents originally intended for him to be an engineer.
He attended the Elmira Free Academy for high school. He also attended GST BOCES Bush Campus in Elmira, New York for Fashion Design.
Rather than furthering his education, he started to work in retail at the age of 18. Hilfiger would go to New York City to buy jeans and bell-bottom pants, which he customized and resold at Brown's, a local downtown Elmira store.
He later opened his own store, named The People's Place, around the block in downtown Elmira. Over the years, a number of stores closed in downtown Elmira as shopping traffic shifted to the new Arnot Mall in Horseheads, New York.[citation needed] After seven years, The People's Place went bankrupt, when Hilfiger was 25. The site of the original store has since been demolished to make room for First Arena, home of the Elmira Jackals Hockey team.[citation needed]
Behati Prinsloo (born May 16, 1989 in Grootfontein, Namibia) is a Namibian model. She is known for her work as spokesmodel for the Victoria's Secret sub-brand Pink.
While on holiday in Cape Town, South Africa, at the age of 16, Prinsloo was discovered by model scout Sarah Doukas.
Photographed by British Royal Family photographer Mario Testino, Prinsloo has graced magazines such as Vogue, American Velvet and the British Telegraph. Behati has walked the velvet ropes[clarification needed] of Chanel, Dolce and Gabbana[citation needed], Prada, Miu Miu and Versace[citation needed]. She has been on the covers of Italy's Muse, Russian Vogue, French, Swedish & Italian Elle, American Velvet and A'FOUR magazine[citation needed]. Her ad campaigns include Adore, Aquascutum, Chanel, H&M, Hugo Boss, Kurt Geiger, Marc by Marc Jacobs, Max Studio, Nina Ricci, Tommy Hilfiger, Gap, DKNY Jeans and Nine West as well as a Vogue Italia editorial with ballet dancer Mikhail Baryshnikov.[citation needed]
On her resume are appearances in the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show for years 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011. In 2009, Prinsloo was made a Victoria's Secret Angel. She has been doing print work for the company as the face for their sub-brand "Pink". Prinsloo ranked 14th on 'The Top Sexiest Models' list by models.com.
Oprah Winfrey (born Orpah Gail Winfrey; January 29, 1954) is an American media proprietor, talk show host, actress, producer, and philanthropist. Winfrey is best known for her self-titled, multi-award-winning talk show, which has become the highest-rated program of its kind in history and was nationally syndicated from 1986 to 2011. She has been ranked the richest African-American of the 20th century, the greatest black philanthropist in American history, and was for a time the world's only black billionaire. She is also, according to some assessments, the most influential woman in the world.
Winfrey was born into poverty in rural Mississippi to a teenage single mother and later raised in an inner-city Milwaukee neighborhood. She experienced considerable hardship during her childhood, claiming to be raped at age nine and becoming pregnant at 14; her son died in infancy. Sent to live with the man she calls her father, a barber in Tennessee, Winfrey landed a job in radio while still in high school and began co-anchoring the local evening news at the age of 19. Her emotional ad-lib delivery eventually got her transferred to the daytime-talk-show arena, and after boosting a third-rated local Chicago talk show to first place, she launched her own production company and became internationally syndicated.
