Tennis star Rafael Nadal will appear as global brand ambassador for the Tommy Hilfiger underwear and Tommy Hilfiger tailored collections for autumn 2015.
Both collections are available at Tommy Hilfiger stores globally, through select wholesale partners and online at tommy.com.
“Rafael Nadal has been a long-time personal friend and supporter of our brand and I’m continuously inspired by his dedication and passion for his sport,” said Tommy Hilfiger.
“This exclusive partnership brings one of the greatest athletes of this generation into our family. Rafael embodies an effortless sense of style that exemplifies and reflects our brand spirit – he’s confident, fun and cool.”
Imagery for the campaign will be photographed in early 2015 in Spain and it will break globally in autumn 2015 with print, online and out-of-home media placements worldwide. To further support global initiative and collaboration, Nadal will attend the Tommy Hilfiger launch events in North America, Europe and Asia.
“I’ve always admired Tommy Hilfiger’s cool, all-American designs which are sophisticated and easy to wear, and I’m excited to be partnering with the brand,” said Nadal, 14-time Grand Slam winner.
The autumn 2015 Tommy Hilfiger underwear collection refreshes classic styles with updated fits, revamped fabrics and elevated details. Design innovations combine with premium fabrics for a result that’s sophisticated, durable and essential for everyday comfort. The autumn 2015 Tommy Hilfiger tailored collection features sharp silhouettes, modern tailoring and rich textures.
Born in 1986 in Manacor, Spain, Nadal has ranked among the world’s top five tennis players since 2003. At the age of 24, he became the youngest athlete to complete the Grand Slam and is the second male player in the world to have completed the Career Golden Slam after winning the French, Australian and US Opens; Wimbledon; and a 2008 Olympic gold medal.
Nadal currently holds a record for his nine French Open victories – the most won by a single player – including five consecutive title wins.
