Authentic Brands Group, LLC (ABG), New York, has purchased Frederick’s Of Hollywood, and has plans for the brand that extend past lingerie.
ABG’s strategic focus for Frederick’s of Hollywood will be to launch a new brand vision, expand product categories and drive distribution across department stores and specialty retailers in key markets including North America, Europe, Asia, South America and Latin America. The product design aesthetic will be led by intimate apparel, which will set the tone for other tent pole categories, including beauty, fragrance and personal care, the company said.
“Frederick’s of Hollywood supports our strategic focus of diversifying the portfolio and strengthens ABG’s position in the intimates apparel category,” said Jamie Salter, chairman and CEO, ABG. “Born during the 1940’s pinup era, Frederick’s is a legendary women’s brand that we are excited to welcome to the ABG brand family.“
