AMSTERDAM, Dec 14 (Bernama-BUSINESS WIRE) — Tommy Hilfiger, which is owned by PVH Corp. [NYSE: PVH], is pleased to announce the six finalists of the 2021 Tommy Hilfiger Fashion Frontier Challenge, who were carefully selected from over 430 applications received from startups and scaleups globally. Building on Tommy Hilfiger’s sustainability vision to Waste Nothing and Welcome All, the third edition of the program strives to continue amplifying and supporting black, indigenous and people of color (BIPOC) entrepreneurs who are working to advance their communities, while fostering a more inclusive future of fashion. With the need to drive impact in the industry more important than ever, the third year of the Tommy Hilfiger Fashion Frontier Challenge was done completely virtual to overcome the ongoing restrictions and challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Over a multi-step year-long process, applications were thoroughly reviewed by internal and external experts based on a dedicated set of criteria including potential social impact and market growth. The six finalists will pitch their business ideas to a jury panel consisting of business and sustainability leaders at the virtual global Tommy Hilfiger Fashion Frontier Challenge final event on January 12-13, 2022.
