Ever heard of Chic, Sergio, Member’s only, Gloria Vandabalt, Brothers, Keds, or Roxanne's? Many high school students would probably say, “I heard some of those names on the VH1 show, “I Love the 70’s.” Now if I was to say names like, Tommy Hilfiger, Abercrombie and Fitch, Hollister, and Express, students would probably realize they have at least one of these name brands in their closet.
