Hilfiger is not going to give up it's premium status. I believe that they'll move upmarket in the department stores. You'll find their premium line to be up marketed. You'll see affordable fashions in Wal-Mart.

This will work well.
This is spot on. Hilfiger started losing popularity when they changed their designs dramatically around 7 years ago. Going after a lot of the urban market. There would be seasons where their whole line was a bit out there. People started going to Polo, Nautica or other brands.
