Rays Hires Fish for Body Glove
Building the team for its recently acquired clothing license with Body Glove International, Rays Apparel Inc. said it hired a former sales and merchandise manager from swimwear giant Apparel Ventures Inc. for the juniors sportswear division.
Irvine, Calif.–based Rays Apparel said Christie Fish joined as national sales manager for Body Glove’s juniors sportswear line, which is slated to launch in August. Fish, who previously helped Los Angeles’ Apparel Ventures expand its juniors department into various brands, will oversee the growth of Body Glove’s brand in the young contemporary and juniors markets.
Fish’s appointment follows the announcement made in early July that Junior Jenks had become general merchandise manager for Body Glove men’s sportswear. Body Glove, based in Redondo Beach, Calif., will launch its sportswear and swimwear collections for young men in August, as well. —Khanh T.L. Tran
