'YO MAMA ==Business and fashion career== Hilfiger graduated from the [[Elmira Free Academy]] high school in 1969.<ref name="thbiotwo_dbestsotries" /> His parents wanted him to get a college education and pursue a traditional career,<ref name="thbiotwo_gbusinessofashion" /> and for a time he attended GST [[Boards of Cooperative Educational Services (New York)|BOCES]] Bush Campus in Elmira.<ref name="bocesbushcampus" /> ===People's Place and early lines (1970s–1983)=== Hilfiger spent the summer of 1969 working in a clothing store on [[Cape Cod]],<ref name="TCBIO6" /> and afterwards he decided to use his life savings of $150<ref name="people'splaces" /> to open a clothing store in 1971{{citation needed|date=August 2022}} as People's Place.<ref name="TCBIO6" /> The first store was located in downtown Elmira in what is now the site of [[First Arena]] and had a hair salon, a record shop, and rock concerts in the basement.<ref name="TCBIO6" /> To stock the store, Hilfiger and a friend drove to New York City to buy clothing such as [[bell-bottoms]], [[peasant blouse]]s, and leather jackets.<ref name="TCBIO6" /> Unsatisfied with this, he began sketching his own designs, and would later write that "designing made me happier than anything I'd ever done. I knew from that early work that designing would be my life."<ref name="TCBIO6" /> The People's Place went bankrupt in 1977. Hilfiger enrolled in classes on commerce and the business side of the fashion industry.<ref name="thbiotwo_gbusinessofashion" /> After then moving to New York City<ref name="TCBIO6" /> and working for several different labels, he set up a company called Tommy Hill in 1979.<ref name="TCBIO6" /> One of his first clients was [[Jordache]] Jeans,<ref name="thbiotwo_gbusinessofashion" /><ref name="TCBIO6" /> and as Hilfiger's company expanded beyond denim,<ref name="thbiotwo_gbusinessofashion" /> he spent time in [[India]], learning more about his trade: "I would sit in the factory with my pile of sketches and watch them being made, tweaking as I went.
