Andrew Rosen (retail executive)
Andrew Rosen is an American retail executive. Currently C.E.O. of Theory, Inc., a New York-based clothing retailer he co-founded in 1997, Rosen is a third-generation garment industry entrepreneur. Rosen has served for years as a judge in the CFDA Fashion Awards, and as a mentor to many of its finalists. Recognizing his role as a significant investor in a number of emerging American designers, including Alice + Olivia, J Brand, Rag and Bone, and Proenza Schouler , ''Vogue'' editor Anna Wintour has said "We don't have a Gucci or LVMH in this country, but in his own way, Andrew is creating a kind of American equivalent."
==Early life==
Rosen grew up immersed in the New York City garment industry. His first job was in a knitting mill on Long Island, operating punch cards.〔 His grandfather Arthur Rosen, a Russian immigrant and a skilled garment cutter, founded the Puritan Dress Company in 1910 in Waltham, Massachusetts. His son Carl took over the business in the 1950s, and relocated it to New York City’s department store district.〔
Carl Rosen changed the company’s name to the Puritan Fashions Corporation.
In 1977 Carl Rosen produced the first designer jeans, with a license from Calvin Klein. Barry Schwartz, Klein’s business partner at the time, told the Wall Street Journal: ''Carl proposed giving us $1 for a $18.75 pair of jeans that sold for $40 retail…we wound up selling 15 million pairs a year at the peak.'' 〔 Puritan continued to license merchandise with other designers, including a clothing line with Diane von Furstenberg.〔 By Carl Rosen’s death in 1983, the company’s sales totaled nearly $300 million.〔
