About Abercrombie & Fitch
The Abercrombie & Fitch as you know it began in 1988 when The Limited acquired the company and rebranded the name as an upscale lifestyle and clothing line for young people. The company is based in Ohio and has over 300 stores throughout the United States, Europe, Asia, Canada and Puerto Rico. The company has branched into different subsidiaries that include Abercrombie Kids, Gilly Hicks of Australia and Hollister Co. The company is notable for using sales associates to market its clothing and photographing shirtless and scantily clad models in black and white.
