Abercrombie & Fitch Launches Limited-Edition Capsule Collection with Harlem’s Fashion Row Designer, Nicole Benefield

NEW YORK, Oct. 05, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Abercrombie & Fitch, a division of Abercrombie & Fitch Co. (NYSE: ANF), is proud to announce the launch of an exciting limited-edition capsule collection designed in partnership with Harlem’s Fashion Row (HFR) designer, Nicole Benefield. The 26-piece collection spanning both men’s and women’s is available online and in select Abercrombie stores today.

Drawing inspiration from the vibrant energy of New York City, the Abercrombie & Fitch x HFR x Nicole Benefield collection focuses on elegant and versatile neutrals punctuated by eye-catching statement pieces. The collection, perfect for cross-seasonal versatility, features a range of refined and elevated essentials, tops, bottoms, knitwear and reversible outerwear, all which reflect Benefield's signature color blocking and monochromatic styling. All 26 pieces of the collection are a harmony of both brands, reflecting the energy, construction and creativity of Nicole Benefield’s designs with the comfort and elevated everyday style of Abercrombie & Fitch.

"Collaborating with Abercrombie in bringing this collection to life has been incredible. We have a common philosophy that people should feel confident and comfortable in styles that are of the moment, which is at the core of this collection," said Nicole Benefield.

“Nicole’s ability to reimagine Abercrombie through her spectacularly talented creative lens has delivered a collection that is nothing short of inspired. And the collaborative process to bring this collection to life was just as spectacular,” said Carey Collins Krug, Abercrombie & Fitch Co.’s Chief Marketing Officer. “It has been an incredible experience for everyone involved.”

"Over the past two years, HFR has had the distinct pleasure of showing the collection of Nicole Benefield during NYFW. Her profound vision for women's fashion is both clear and inspiring. We were thrilled to unite her talents with Abercrombie & Fitch. This collaboration epitomizes the innovation that emerges when fresh perspectives are embraced," said Brandice Daniel, CEO and Founder of Harlem's Fashion Row.

The collection is available in an inclusive size range for both men’s and women’s pieces, with items ranging from $40-$200. Abercrombie celebrated Nicole and the collection’s launch with an event hosted at Lavan Chelsea on October 3rd. Attendees from Abercrombie, Harlem’s Fashion Row, friends and family of Nicole, as well as media and social influencers gathered to view the collection and toast to the collaboration.
