Every time I see someone wearing around here, I automatically think “TOMMY HILLBILLY.” This comes in part from a former boss who considered HILFIGER to be the epitome of high fashion. The Hilfiger name on everything he owned seemed a personal goal.
The other day as I was leaving Walmart, a genuine “hillbilly” type was entering. He was thin and ragged looking and wore a dirty t-shirt with the famous (and copyrighted) logo, but the name “HILFIGER” had been replaced by “HILLBILLY.” My thoughts about the brand are apparently not unique. I wondered if he considered the shirt a fashion statement. He didn’t seem the type for self-depreciating humor.
It turns out that the “Tommy Hillbilly” line is available from the White Trash Warehouse. Hot couture!
