NEW ALBANY, Ohio, Feb. 06, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Abercrombie & Fitch, a division of Abercrombie & Fitch Co. (NYSE: ANF), is proud to launch a groundbreaking campaign building off of 2019’s successful relaunch of its iconic fragrance, Fierce. The 2020 #FaceYourFierce campaign includes a cast of 24 members, known as the “Fierce Family”, who not only personify the brand’s portfolio of six different Fierce fragrances, but also embody what it truly means to “Face Your Fierce.”
A&F’s 2020 Fierce Family cast includes professional athletes Megan Rapinoe and Kyle Kuzma, activists, dancers, authors, community trailblazers, actors, performers, models, entrepreneurs, comedians and more—all of who have made their mark on the world by living as their most authentic, brave and Fierce selves. Throughout the year-long campaign, cast members will share their experiences of body positivity, self-empowerment, determination, LGBTQ+ equality, gender equality, overcoming obstacles, and more, all to inspire customers to explore the unexpected and emotional aspects of inner strength.In 2019, A&F relaunched Fierce to a new generation, focusing on exploring the notion of what it means to be “Fierce” through a sensitive, diverse and inclusive lens.
