Tommy Hilfiger Announces License Agreement with G-III Apparel Group, Ltd. for Women’s Dress Collection

NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Tommy Hilfiger, which is owned by PVH Corp. [NYSE:PVH], and G-III
Apparel Group, Ltd. [NasdaqGS:GIII] have entered into a license
agreement to introduce a line of women’s dresses inspired by the Tommy
Hilfiger
brand’s fresh take on classic, American, cool style.
Beginning February 2016, the collection will be available at select
department stores, including Macy’s, specialty stores, and e-commerce
partners in the United States and Canada.

“Our women’s collections are a key area of focus and a high-potential
growth category for the brand globally,” said Daniel Grieder, CEO for
Tommy Hilfiger. “G-III has been a strong partner with us on outerwear
and luggage and is a market leader for women’s apparel in North America
with an in-depth understanding of our target customer. We are excited
about this opportunity to expand the women’s dress business in the U.S.
and Canada through G-III, and we look forward to working together on
this new collection.”

Morris Goldfarb, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of G-III,
commented “We are excited to continue to deepen our strategic
relationships with both the Tommy Hilfiger organization and PVH. The Tommy
Hilfiger
brand continues to demonstrate its wide appeal and
longevity as a truly iconic American brand. We are pleased to help
extend that position and to further leverage the world-class
infrastructure and capability we have built for the dress market and to
extend our leadership in this important category.”

The new Tommy Hilfiger dress collection is designed to complement
the existing Tommy Hilfiger women’s sportswear offerings. The
Spring 2016 collection is inspired by iconic American style, with a
modern twist featuring the bold use of print and color, and feminine
fabrics and finishes. The collection, including dresses and coordinating
shrugs and cardigans, will have suggested retail prices from $99 to $149.

The initial term of the agreement is five years with G-III having a
right to renew for an additional five-year term subject to achieving
certain sales levels.
