About

Founded in 1997 by Andrew Rosen, Theory has positioned itself as a leading contemporary fashion brand that redefines the urban uniform with modern, elevated essentials. The brand's focus on precision tailoring, high-quality fabrics, and a blend of luxury and accessibility has earned it a reputation for sophisticated, everyday wear. Since its acquisition by Fast Retailing in 2004, Theory has expanded to 221 freestanding stores worldwide and launched a robust e-commerce platform, creating a seamless omnichannel experience. As a key player in the Fast Retailing Group, Theory continues to innovate while maintaining an inclusive, equal-opportunity workplace culture.
