American Apparel is a clothing manufacturer, distributor, and retailer in the United States.[3] It is a vertically integrated clothing manufacturer, wholesaler, and retailer that also performs its own design, advertising, and marketing. It is best known for making basic, solid-color cotton knitwear such as T-shirts and underwear, but in recent years it has expanded—to include leggings, leotards, tank tops, vintage clothing, dresses, pants, denim, nail polish, bedding and accessories for men, women, children, babies, and dogs in various prints and colors.
Inspired by Fashion Week in New York City, Los Angeles, Mexico and abroad the first-ever Fashion Week San Antonio was conceived in October 2009. Through the production of local fashion community supporters this weeklong schedule of events was launched to showcase the Alamo city’s brightest and most talented designers and brand houses by displaying their latest collections in a runway show or fashion exhibition. Complimentary to exemplary Fashion Weeks across the world, Fashion Week San Antonio exists to cultivate and broaden a talented local design community worthy of recognition on a national platform in the global fashion industry.
