Daily Inspiration Quote by Tommy Hilfiger

"We like to believe our fashion is growing"

About this Quote

“We like to believe our fashion is growing” is corporate modesty dressed up as optimism, and it’s exactly the kind of sentence a designer-founder uses when the brand is bigger than any single hemline. Hilfiger leads with “we,” not “I,” signaling that fashion here isn’t personal genius; it’s an organization, an ecosystem of teams, retailers, and consumers. The phrase “like to believe” does double duty: it softens the brag into something almost humble, while quietly acknowledging that growth is never guaranteed in an industry that treats relevance like a rental.

The subtext is about legitimacy. Fashion isn’t just clothes; it’s momentum, attention, distribution, and cultural placement. Saying the fashion is “growing” frames the brand as evolving aesthetically (new silhouettes, collaborations, updated references) but also expanding commercially without admitting the crassness of numbers. It’s a way to talk about market dominance using the language of creativity. Growth becomes an artistic narrative instead of a quarterly report.

Context matters: Hilfiger’s empire is built on translating American prep into mass aspiration, then keeping it alive through reinvention. In a landscape where “timeless” can quickly mean “stagnant,” growth is a defense against becoming a logo trapped in its own nostalgia. The line is also a quiet nod to fashion’s anxiety: if you’re not growing, you’re shrinking - even if sales look fine.
