Express clothing

Express is a prominent American fashion retailer that originated as a division of Limited Brands in 1980. The brand quickly established itself as a staple of mall-based retail in the United States, known for providing modern, versatile apparel for both men and women. Over the decades, it evolved from a sub-brand into a standalone public company, focusing on youthful, trend-driven professional and casual wear.

Manufacturing for Express products is conducted through a global network of third-party suppliers. While the brand is designed in the United States, the physical production occurs in various countries across Asia and South America, including Vietnam, China, India, and Indonesia, which is typical for large-scale international fashion retailers.

In recent years, the brand's ownership structure has undergone significant changes. Following financial restructuring in 2024, the brand was acquired by a consortium led by WHP Global. This group, which includes major mall owners like Simon Property Group and Brookfield Properties, operates the brand under the entity Phoenix Retail. This strategic move was designed to preserve the brand's physical retail footprint while leveraging WHP Global's brand management expertise.
