Authentic Brands Group, Forever 21’s owner, has inked a deal with IB Group to operate its 37 stores and open shop-in-shops.

The 24-year veteran of H&M grew North American sales from $1 billion to $4 billion over the course of his career there.

The EU is considering a complete ban on certain chemicals, commonly used in apparel and cosmetics. Some brands will have to make serious supply chain and sourcing changes, as a result.

The deal is worth close to $300 million when factoring in purchase price, liabilities assumed.

A theme with troubled retailers including Forever 21 is vendors are asked for support during a bankruptcy, but face tough odds of recovery.

The retailer survived a tense hearing in Delaware bankruptcy court Tuesday amid objections to the fees and speed envisioned by the bid.

Authentic Brands Group teamed up with Simon Property Group and Brookfield on the bid for the bankrupt fast-fashion retailer.

The bankrupt retailer told a Delaware court that it has significantly cut costs, and is working to find a buyer.

The brand-managing house is said to be considering another acquisition, this time at the lower end of the price scale.
