Tommy Hilfiger - An Irish American in Galway

Fashion superstar Tommy Hilfiger jetted into Galway today for the official launch of his flagship Irish store. Surprisingly it's Hilfiger's first trip to Ireland. Although born in New York Hilfiger can trace his roots back to Cork & Westport, Co. Mayo.

A cheerful Hilfiger said "My visit honours the union of two nations that are not only rooted through history, but also through the connection of my ancestral family." We reckon that makes Tommy Hilfiger a bona fide member of the Irish Tribe.

While here in the motherland Hilfiger will also be visiting the Philosophical Society, Trinity College, where he'll pick up an Honorary Patronage. Previous celebrity holders of the award include Bono,Al Pacino and Bob Geldof .
