With the additions of abercrombie, the lifestyle for kids 7-14, Hollister Co., a west-coast inspired line of clothing for high school kids 14-18, and most recently Ruehl, a New York Greenwich Village based brand for adults in their 20s, our brands have never been stronger. We are constantly moving forward and expanding overseas to give everyone the opportunity to experience A&amp;F culture. Currently we are developing a new concept that promises to follow in the successful footsteps of our existing brands.
