NEW YORK, United States — Fashion giant Tommy Hilfiger is working on a memoir.

Hilfiger, 63, has a deal with Ballantine Books for a book expected this fall, the publisher announced Thursday.

The memoir is currently untitled. Financial terms were not disclosed.

Hilfiger's previous works include collaborations on "New England Style" and "Iconic America: A Roller-Coaster Ride Through the Eye-Popping Panorama of American Pop Culture."
