Differential Brands Group, the publicly traded group of upscale apparel and footwear brands created in January, has engaged ICR for PR and IR.
DBG CEO Michael Buckley praised ICR's work in the retail and consumer space, as well as its relationships with media and on Wall Street to enhance the company's IR and "build greater awareness of Differential Brands among the financial community."
DBG's portfolio includes premium denim apparel brand Hudson, activewear by Robert Graham, and footwear brand SWIMS. The company formed in January with the backing of Tengram Capital Partners and out of the merger of Hudson Jeans and Robert Graham by publicly traded Joe's Jeans, which took the Differential Brands name.
The company has said it will focus on organic growth while seeking acquisition opportunities of "accretive, complementary, premium brands."
