Buro exclusive: Interview with Rafael Nadal & Tommy Hilfiger
#TommyxNadal
Rafael Nadal is the new face of Tommy Hilfiger's fall 2015 campaign. As the newly signed global brand ambassador, the 14-time Grand Slam winner stars in the Tommy Hilfiger underwear, Tailored and TH Bold fragrance ad campaigns.
The collaboration sees Nadal decked out in the American brand's sharp and modern suiting from the Tailored collection, and more sensationally, strip down to nothing but the brand's newly elevated fall 2015 underwear line (no complaints here). The global initiative and campaign will also launch Nadal's fragrance for Tommy Hilfiger called 'TH Bold'.
In this Buro behind-the-scenes exclusive, we find out more about the partnership from Rafael Nadal and the designer himself.
How did this collaboration come about?
Rafael Nadal: I've known Tommy and his family for years. When he approached me for the collaboration, I was very excited to work with my friend and one of the world's most renowned designers. I'm honoured to have this opportunity to collaborate with such an iconic American brand.
Tommy Hilfiger: Rafael has been a personal friend and supporter of our brand for nearly 10 years. We are excited about this exclusive partnership, which brings one of the greatest athletes of this generation into our Tommy family.
"INVEST IN QUALITY; A CLASSIC TAILORED SUIT WILL LAST A LIFETIME AND CARRY YOU A LONG WAY." - RAFAEL NADAL
