History

Abercrombie & Fitch introduced abercrombie in July 1998 with 9 stores. The purpose was to attract a younger audience to the American Abercrombie brand. The name of the concept took the same font of its parent, but with a navy color. The abbreviation from "Abercrombie & Fitch" to "abercrombie" with lowercase letters also provides a childrens' image still affective today. The store prototype was as the A&F one, but with variations appealing to a more youthful class. Early abercrombie models include Lindsay Lohan, Cassie Ventura, and Christina Akatsuka. Abercrombie & Fitch Kids's logo is a standing moose. A model is a person who poses or displays for purposes of art, fashion, or other products and advertising. ...

Stores and expansion

Abercrombie Kids stores are detailed to give off a "classic cool" vibe. They remain as "Canoe stores," displaying the same floor layout as Abercrombie & Fitch. However, most noticeably, the kids prototype bears stricking differences. It bears no louvers, has brighter lighting, is smaller in retail space, blasts remixed/electronic dance music from young artists, and display marketing pictures with young models. Also, the retail space is divided into three rooms (two in front, and one conjoined in the back where the cashwrap is located). The signature fragrance, "Cologne 15", is sprayed store wide (noticeable, as the scent envelops one's senses upon entrance). A louver (or louvre in British English, from French louvert; the open one) is a frame with horizontal and vertical slats, which are angled to admit light and air, but to keep out rain and sun shine. ... Electronic dance music is a broad set of percussive music genres that largely inherit from 1970s disco music and, to some extent, the experimental pop music of Kraftwerk. ...
