Dreaming, the new Hilfiger fragrance, will be introduced by a series of documentary films about real women achieving their dreams. The stories will come from Glamour readers and be sponsored by Tommy Hilfiger. The films will be directed by A-list talent who have not been selected yet.
The public is invited to pitch ideas before the fragrance is launched in February 2008.
