Research Outline

US and Europe Fashion Brands

Goals

To develop a list of the fashion brands (sales above $20 million every year and in the market at least since 2016-2017) currently operating in the US and Europe. The fashion brands should sell originally designed apparel (not only footwear and accessories). The spreadsheet will be used to understand the potential growth of a 3D fashion design software in the western market.

Early Findings

The Spreadsheet

  • The spreadsheet for the list of fashion brands that sell originally designed apparel (not only footwear and accessories), currently operating in the US and Europe and meeting the criteria of sales above $20 million every year and in the market at least since 2016-2017 can be found in this link.
  • Under Armour, Nike, Tommy Hilfiger, Ralph Lauren, and Gap are five US-based fashion brands that meet the above criteria. The year of establishment, location of HQ, sales focus, annual revenue, along with sources have been listed in the enclosed spreadsheet.
  • H&M, Zara, Chanel, C&A, and Hugo Boss are five Europe-based fashion brands that meet the above criteria. The year of establishment, location of HQ, sales focus, annual revenue, along with sources have been listed in the enclosed spreadsheet.

Summary of Findings

  • The exact number of fashion brands currently operating in the US and Europe that meet the desired criteria is hard to determine. This is because the industry is highly segregated and there is no particular list that identifies the total number of companies. However, there are several companies in both the US and Europe that meet the desired criteria.
