G-III Apparel Group, Ltd. (Nasdaq: GIII) (“G-III” or the

increased investment in All We Wear Group (“AWWG” or “Group”),

Madrid-based AWWG, which is owned by M1 Group, LCatterton and

brands and generates over $650 million in revenues across over
3,500 points of sale in over 86 countries. As part of the
previously announced agreement, the Group has become the official
agent for DKNY, Donna Karan and Karl Lagerfeld across Spain and
Portugal, as the Company seeks to maximize its European growth
opportunity. G-III also plans to leverage AWWG’s notable presence
in India, one of the fastest growing fashion markets in the world,
to expand its key brands, led by DKNY. In turn, AWWG will benefit
from G-III’s best-in-class operations in North America to expand
its footprint in that market.
Morris Goldfarb, G-III’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer,
said, “We are pleased to expand our investment in AWWG and strongly
believe this partnership is another growth opportunity for our
business. This transaction reinforces our strategic priorities and
