To mark America’s 250th anniversary, the American Apparel & Footwear Association (AAFA) launched 250 Years of Fashion, an inside look at the people, products, and pivotal moments that have shaped American style. Through stories of iconic brands and enduring trends, the initiative shows how fashion has evolved alongside the nation, reflecting its culture, creativity, and entrepreneurial spirit.
As AAFA’s official Corporate Social Responsibility partner, WRAP is proud to contribute to this important campaign.
Over the past century, social compliance in the global apparel and footwear industry has transformed from voluntary commitments into a more structured system of accountability. Today, companies face growing expectations to actively safeguard workers across their supply chains. Throughout this evolution, WRAP has remained grounded in one core belief: people—not products—are at the heart of the industry. By combining global engagement with deep understanding of local realities, WRAP continues to bridge standards with compassion, advancing an industry that respects and empowers the individuals who make it possible.
We invite you to explore the full 250 Years of Fashion experience and learn more about WRAP and AAFA’s fellow partners, including Jockey, Fruit of the Loom, and Perry Ellis.
