Vanguard has continued its push into the US market, scoring a 10 store account with international retailer Urban Outfitters.
A selection of styles from the casual menswear brand's autumn/winter 2011 collection will land in Urban Outfitter stores – including its online store – in August.
The deal comes after a concentrated effort by Vanguard designers Sam and Jono Cottee to push beyond the Australian market.
“Urban Outfitters is a key account so we're taking this step as a positive sign for Vanguard on an international level,” Jono Cottee said.
The deal adds to Vanguard's other 16 US stockists including New York boutiques Oak and Number A and department store Bloomingdales. Worldwide, Vanguard has 60 stockists across Australia, New Zealand, the UK, US, Japan and online.
Vanguard was founded in Brisbane in 2005 and garments in the label's autumn/winter collection include Australian made organic basics, cotton shirts, elastic waisted shorts and t-shirts.
