The brand’s new collections, including t-shirts, disco pants, bodysuits, high-waist jeans, metallic leggings, fisherman pullovers and unisex hoodies, will be featured on the website available in a range of sizes and fits.
Apart from this, the company’s marketing team is running a launch campaign, Back to Basics, to support the expansion on various digital platforms, and on billboards in select markets.
Established in Los Angeles in 1989, American Apparel was acquired by Gildan in February last year.
Gildan manufactures and markets everyday basic apparel, including activewear, underwear, socks, hosiery and legwear products under a portfolio of brands in North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific and Latin America.
