Label Text:Tommy Hilfiger’s “skiwear-meets-streetwear” is an example of the sports-inspired clothing of the 1990s. Young, urban men picked up on this look, which became especially popular in the hip-hop community. In his 1997 book, All-American, Hilfiger noted that their adoption of athletic garments was “one of the most significant fashion statements of the nineties.”
