About Abercrombie Kids
Abercrombie kids (marketed as abercrombie) is an offshoot of Abercrombie & Fitch Co. The kids line features designs similar to those offered to older teens and adults by its parent company, but in smaller sizes and at more affordable prices. Abercrombie kids collection is designed for fun-loving, energetic children who embrace the all-American lifestyle.
Then and Now
Abercrombie & Fitch introduced abercrombie in 1997 with just a handful of stores in the hopes of attracting a younger audience. When abercrombie kids first debuted marketers pushed its vintage, worn-in clothing line via an aggressive ad campaign, which featured famous tween models, including Lindsay Lohan, Cassie Ventura and Christian Valentin.
Today, the store offers upscale casual apparel and accessories for both boys and girls. The company’s new focus is to offer styles that mimic Abercrombie & Fitch clothing. For example, abercrombie kids jeans bear the same back-pocket-stitching pattern as Abercrombie & Fitch. In addition the company’s moose logo is prominently displayed on clothing as is the name "abercrombie."

Shirt Controversy
Abercrombie kids also sells humor tees, which feature slogans and sayings that some critics consider offensive and degrading to girls. For example, the company’s T-shirt that features the saying, "I'm not allowed to date unless you're hot," was met with a backlash from some parents. Meanwhile, other critics complained that shirts containing inappropriate arrogant messages and disrespectful slogans, such as "'I will make you an all-star on the walk of shame,'" should be yanked from store shelves.
Other controversial tees include ones that bear alleged anti-education slogans, such as: "'I'd do your homework, but I don't even do mine.'" and "School is for catching up on sleep."
However, the most controversial slogans were featured on a line of abercrombie kids underwear for young girls with the sayings "Wink Wink" and "Eye Candy" screen-printed on the backsides. Following the release of the sexually suggestive underwear, outraged parents mounted storefront protests. Company officials refused to stop carrying the underwear and instead remarked that the panties were meant to be "cute" not controversial.
