Tommy Hilfiger says he's proud of standing up for himself after a nightclub fistfight with rocker Axl Rose, in which the diminutive designer found himself thrown in a heap on the sidewalk.

The News' Jeffrey Slonim, an eyewitness, said Hilfiger "was slugging as hard as he could with bouncers for about five minutes" before security at the Plumm on W. 14th St. evicted him around 12:25 a.m. yesterday.
 The fight started after Rose tried to move the drink of Hilfiger's girlfriend, Dee Ocleppo, which he thought was in the way.
According to a source: "She was sitting next to Tommy, and Axl may have jostled her a little. Tommy put his hand out, Axl grabbed Tommy's arm and pushed it hard, and Tommy came back with a fist."
And it was on!
Rose, who was slated to perform with his current Guns N' Roses lineup, was not removed from the club. A witness says: "After Tommy was thrown out, his shirt was open and he was so agitated he hurried off to his limo."
A female friend who followed him into the car reported: "He said he felt good about it because he stood up for himself."
Lenny Kravitz, who was attending Rosario Dawson's birthday party at the club, was overheard telling Rose: "It's a good thing you didn't punch back, you would have taken his head off!"
Other celebs through the door that night included Mickey Rourke, Kid Rock, Peter Beard, Molly Simms, Wentworth Miller, Ann Dexter Jones, Lydia Hearst and Damon Dash.
Rose seemed energized by the fight, even dedicating a song to his sparring partner. "This one goes down for my friend Tommy Hilfiger," he said as he took the stage, with what appeared to be a red mark under one eye. "It's called 'You're Crazy.'"
Hilfiger's spokeswoman had no comment yesterday.
