Apple Bottoms is a fashion brand which celebrates the individuality of today’s trend-setting woman. The company was launched in August 2003, by platinum superstar Nelly. Nelly’s vision for the brand was that “a woman should not try to fit the clothes; the clothes should fit the woman!”
The brand, which when launched, was exclusively a denim label, and has since gone through a major line-expansion. Currently the Apple Bottoms label includes: apparel, footwear, handbags, eyewear RX, intimates, sunglasses, accessories, jewelry, cold weather, and girl’s apparel.
Product Development
Apple Bottoms appreciates the unique curves of a woman’s body, and as such, the apparel is designed to offer a superior cut and fit. The Apple Bottoms client is confident, strong, and sexy. She loves her curves, and prefers to enhance them, not conceal them.
Icer Brands, LLC, in collaboration with Nelly, holds the exclusive licensing rights to the product development and marketing of Apple Bottoms. Icer Brands is a privately held market leader, whose offices are prestigiously located in Manhattan, NY.
