Adaptability Assessment
🦾 | Inclusivity
One of Tommy Hilfiger‘s core values is to extend fashion‘s reach to everyone so a designated adaptable line was created. Hillfiger himself has children with autism so he was well aware of the challenges of dressing someone with sensory or motor skill difficulties. This challenge led him to create an adaptable children’s wear a line in 2016 which he expanded to adults because of high demand. Today, Hilfiger is a leader in making fashionable adaptive clothing.
♿️ | Comfort
Tommy Hilfiger offers clothing with buttons and zippers that snap shut easily for one handed use. They also use soft materials that are sensory friendly. They offer pull on and wide leg openings for easy access for prosthetics or braces. There are countless other features offered to make this line inclusive for all.
Sustainability Assessment
🌍 | Environmental Impact
Tommy Hilfiger states that they focus on sustainability by increasing their use of recycled cotton and plastic, transitioning to 100% recycled polybags, and reducing their carbon footprint. Some critics state that their mainstream brand is still reliant on synthetic fabric which impacts sustainability.
🤝 | Labor Conditions
Tommy Hilfiger has had many scandals in relation to how they treat their labor. A case in the 1990s alleged that Tommy Hilfiger exploited labor laws to produce ”made in USA” goods under unsafe conditions. In 2019 Ethiopia, workers faced discrimination, and fines for drinking water at workstations. Tommy Hilfiger says this was outsourced manufacturing run by third parties and has committed to more oversight.
🐾 | Animal Welfare:
Furs and exotic skins are banned but there is room for more commitment when it comes to wool and leather. Some of the material comes from regions with less stringent welfare practices so the source is not reliable for adherence to Hilfiger’s commitment for higher standards.
