Kim France reflects on the demise of Forever 21, a prominent fast fashion retailer that provided young shoppers with the latest trends at low prices. Known for its ability to track fashion quickly, Forever 21 garnered a massive following, employing over 43,000 people at its peak and generating upwards of $4 billion in sales. France compares it to competitors like Zara and Topshop, though noting Forever 21's unique appeal lay in the excitement of in-store treasure hunting, a joy that may dwindle with its closures.
Anyone who ever formed a search party to stalk low-rise jeans, fringed crop tops, mesh flats or whatever else happened to be trending that very instant is familiar with the chain.
What’s sad is that the thrill of that in-person hunt, sifting through stacks of dross to find the perfect piece, may also fade with the closing of Forever 21.
At its peak, Forever 21 employed more than 43,000 people worldwide and brought in more than $4 billion in annual sales, illustrating its vast impact.
The excitement of shopping at Forever 21—a unique adrenaline rush that comes from physically browsing through racks—made it a distinctive retail experience.
