consultancy for is to come to an end. After 5 successful seasons working on the women's runway collections and accessories, WWD announces that Som and Hilfiger have amicably decided to part ways.

Som came to the label in 2009 to bring a modern aesthetic to the signature Hilfiger style, but still keeping the spotlight firmly on the brand's luxury customer's wants and needs.

When asked about the split Som answered, 'It was a pleasure getting to know Tommy personally, and an honour to work with him - he has been a wonderful mentor. I look forward to focusing on my own business and the other opportunities I have ahead of me'.

No future external consultancies are in the pipeline.
