Abercrombie Addresses New Doc and ‘Problematic Leadership of Past’

Zachariah Finning April 1, 2022

Abercrombie & Fitch addressed the new Netflix documentary, White Hot: The Rise and Fall of Abercrombie & Fitch, by Alison Klayman coming April 19 in an instagram post on Thursday.

The statement reads:

In the spirit of transparency, we want to directly acknowledge the news of an upcoming documentary that will feature Abercrombie & Fitch and focus on an era that took place under previous leadership. While the problematic elements of that era have already been subject to wide and valid criticism over the years, we want to be clear that they are actions, behaviors and decisions that would not be permitted or tolerated at the company now.
As we’ve evolved, we’ve felt the love from this community. We are grateful for the support you have given us as we’ve taken intentional steps to be inclusive and welcoming to everyone.
Thank you for giving us the chance to show you who Abercrombie is today, and for being a part of who we will be tomorrow. We know the work is never done and remain committed to continually creating a company of which we can all be proud.
