We have new opportunities on the horizon for 2022, and I am beyond thrilled about everything we plan to do,” said Schwartz. “After many years in the business, I see the acquisition as a partnership that will help the brand continue to grow and position itself in the new era of fashion. ABS by Allen Schwartz will celebrate its 40th anniversary this year, and this milestone will be incorporated into a larger marketing strategy, incorporating influencers, collaborations and events. The brand looks to diversify its sourcing and supply chain for a more global reach. The acquisition provides Schwartz with a strategic partner that will manage licensing and sourcing. In 2020, Schwartz introduced the brand’s first upcycled collection, featuring matte and crepe satin tailoring made from a polyester repurposed from recycled bottles, and ’90s throwback floral dresses made from 100 percent recycled poly chiffon. One of the main reasons that Schwartz has remained nimble is he’s always manufactured in Los Angeles. He has historically found department stores difficult to deal with and has been outspoken about it over the years. He would generate publicity for his label the morning after the Oscars, when he’d reveal his dress selections.įor nearly 40 years, Schwartz rode the wave of California contemporary, achieving success with his dress business in department stores, licensing other categories, including denim, plus sizes and men’s wear, and in 2017, launching an advanced contemporary label, Allen Schwartz, targeting specialty stores. He made a name for himself in the late 1990s and 2000s by being able to turn around interpretations of red carpet gowns for the mass market in a matter of weeks. The company was known for offering trendy apparel and fashion-forward styles. Schwartz started ABS by Allen Schwartz in 1982 and the brand became an important resource in the contemporary space with retailers such as Saks Fifth Avenue and Nordstrom. He is bringing his assistant, but no other staff is coming along in the deal. The Five Oak team will manage the brand, and Schwartz will stay on as creative director for at least a year. “Our years of experience consulting with brands and manufacturers has Five Oak poised to grow the brand’s domestic and global reach while continuing to bring the fashion-savvy consumer a top-quality product with up-to-date styling at attainable price points,” he added. The acquisition of the ABS Allen Schwartz brands is a milestone for Five Oak as we are growing our brand portfolio and have been seeking brands with the stature and track record of ABS Allen Schwarz,” said Simon Douek, chief executive officer of Five Oak Brand Management Advisors.
