NEW ALBANY, Ohio, July 30, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Today, Abercrombie & Fitch (“Abercrombie”), a division of Abercrombie & Fitch Co. (NYSE: ANF), unveils their Fall 2026 denim campaign, “Denim Made Iconic.” Highlighting the brand’s origin in New York City dating back to 1892, the campaign was shot in the city by New York-based photographer Cass Bird and features model, actress and New York Times best-selling author Emily Ratajkowski, model Paloma Elsesser and New York Giants players Jaxson Dart and Malik Nabers.
Abercrombie continues to show up in the moments that matter most to its customers, and this campaign is a natural extension of the brand’s continued evolution.

Featuring influential faces across both fashion and sport, Abercrombie is reimagining denim through self-expression, authenticity and elevated style, creating pieces that are truly “made iconic.”
The campaign highlights key denim silhouettes across city scenes including the streets of SoHo and subway cars.
