Photo: Rich Hilfiger, in 2008, before he got all the tattoos
The New York Observer recently profiled Rich Hilfiger, the 21-year-old son of designer and Greenwich resident Tommy, writing about his burgeoning rap career.
Hifiger, who performs under the name Rich Hil, says his fascination with hip hop started while he was growing up in Greenwich, and though he supposedly despises “showy wealth,” he does give props to the tony suburb where he was raised:

What would a prep school kid wear?” He Googled “prep school kid” and found a picture of a guy in a pink sport coat. “That’s not me. You know what I mean? I might have gone to school with that kid. That kid might have played video games in my house. Played out in the woods with me, but I didn’t turn into that. I’m so f—ing CT but I’m not that at all … Not everybody from Texas got a f—ing cowboy hat, you know?”
