“Rafael Nadal has been a longtime 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 Tommy
family. Rafael embodies an effortless sense of style that exemplifies
and reflects our brand spirit – he’s confident, fun and cool.”
The campaign imagery will be photographed in early 2015 in Spain and it
will break globally in fall 2015 with dedicated print, online, and
out-of-home media placements worldwide. To further support the global
initiative and collaboration, Nadal will attend exclusive Tommy

“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 Rafael Nadal, the 14-time Grand Slam
