The grammy award-winning US act have penned a lucrative deal with the Hilfiger fashion label.
Tommy Hilfiger have signed The Chainsmokers as global brand ambassadors for Tommy Hilfiger menswear, beginning in the autumn of 2017. The duo – comprising Andrew Taggart and Alex Paul – broke through in 2014 with the single ’Selfie’, which was a Top 20 hit.
Formed in 2012, The Chainsmokers have sold more than 10 million singles and are currently the third most streamed artist in the world. In 2017, the duo won the Best Dance Recording Grammy with 'Don’t Let Me Down' featuring Daya, and their single ‘ loser', featuring Halsey, was recognized as the Top Collaboration of the Year at the Billboard Music Awards. Details of the deal have not been revealed, though there can be no doubt that it is a lucrative one for the band.
“Tommy’s pioneering approach to fusing fashion and music is part of our menswear heritage,” said Daniel Grieder, CEO, Tommy Hilfiger Global and PVH Europe. “Our partnership with The Chainsmokers reflects the company’s strategic commitment to bring the next generation of Tommy Hilfiger consumers into our men’s business with exciting fashion collections, curated shopping experiences, and digital commerce convenience.”
“The Chainsmokers are at the center of modern pop culture and their music resonates with a global audience,” the company’s founder Tommy Hilfiger said. “I admire the way they have carved out a new niche that fuses indie, pop, dance, and hip-hop. We’re extremely excited to work with them in the fashion space.”
