RTW Retail Winds, Inc. et al.
RTW Retailwinds filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection July 13, 2020 in U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of New Jersey.
The company's portfolio included branded merchandise from New York & Company, Fashion to Figure and Happy x Nature and collaborations with Eva Mendes, Gabrielle Union and Kate Hudson. The brands had approximately 378 retail and outlet locations in 32 states as well as online stores.
Like other apparel retailers with a heavy commitment to shopping malls, the company and its brands grappled with declining foot traffic long before the coronavirus pandemic, which has led to an increase of retailers filing for bankruptcy.
It later launched a store closing and liquidation process announcing that New York & Co.'s remaining stores would go out of business.
Mr. Giuliano was appointed the Liquidation Trustee in January.
