These Are The Most Successful Fashion Brands, 2020

One thing that has exercised a constant influence on popular culture is fashion. Regardless of the time, if you visit the lanes of history, you will find that each period is distinguished from the other by its clothing. To date, we pride ourselves on being more modern and forward-thinking than our ancestors when it comes to fashion.

And that cycle is going to persist for the coming generations too. Riding the wave of this ever-growing demand, the fashion industry has prospered. There are so many prominent brands now that it is near about impossible to remember the name of every single one of them.

But to make staying in fashion a bit easier, in this article, we are going to go over the twenty most successful fashion brands that exist today.

13. Banana Republic

14. Hollister
    It is a relatively new brand, debuting only in 2010. Hollister was made with just one goal in mind, and that was to focus on teens. While all other brands were making clothes for grownups, Hollister saw an opportunity and an unexploited market. By the time the other brands could launch, Hollister had started delivering its merchandise all over the globe.
15. Nike
    The company whose very name means “Greek goddess of victory” is home to all the premier athletes of the world.
