| General info : | | Rock & Republic is an American jeans brand founded by Michael Ball in 2002. Ball is a cyclist who gained design experience by creating his cycling team's uniforms. Rock & Republic's line of jeans and casual wear "VB Rocks" was designed by singer Victoria Beckham until 2008.
From 2007 to 2009, the company sponsored a professional cycling team named Rock Racing.
On April 1, 2010, Rock & Republic filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection.
By December 2010, the company had entered into negotiations with VF Corporation (formerly Vanity Fair Mills until 1969) to sell the trademark and intellectual property. On April 28, 2011, VF Corporation announced it had signed a long-term licensing deal with Kohl's Corporation to carry a budget version of the Rock & Republic brand with jeans priced at $88 versus $200 plus.
In 2019, VF Corporation spun-off its jeans business, including the Rock & Republic, Lee, and Wrangler brands, into a new business called Kontoor Brands. | |
