Arrow’s heritage goes back over 150 years,” said Fred Gehring, CEO of the Tommy Hilfiger Group and PVH International. said Mr. Gehring.

Arrow will premiere as a featured brand at Pitti Uomo Imagine in Florence in January 2011.

The launch will be comprised of three different labels targeting the dress, casual and contemporary segments respectively.
