Quiksilver Women's Fashion Brand

If you are looking for women's clothing with the Quiksilver brand, you may have to wait a bit - and that honest opening is the key to this whole page. The Quiksilver company produces a line of apparel for young women under the brand Roxy. Quiksilver has another line of apparel for women under the brand Quiksilver Women. So a women's shopper researching Quiksilver is really researching two women's labels inside one surf company: Roxy, the established young women's line, and Quiksilver Women, the line carried under the parent name itself.

The Roxy mark carries its parentage in its design. the Roxy logo consists of two copies of the Quiksilver logo, one reflected, forming a heart. That single fact is a useful authenticity and identification check in a shop or a listing - a Roxy garment is a Quiksilver-company garment for young women, and its logo is quite literally the Quiksilver wave-and-mountain mark doubled and mirrored into a heart. The dedicated Roxy profile sits in this directory's R section, linked from this page.

Roxy: Tops, Tees, Denim and Surf Clothing

The Roxy line has been preparing a number of new arrivals across a line of tops, tees, denim and other surf clothing and accessories. Shop that range by its own families: tops and tees are the graphic, surf-culture core of the line, bought on fabric weight, print quality and fit; the denim is the line's everyday bottom, bought on wash, rise and stretch recovery like any jeans purchase; and the surf clothing and accessories are bought on the job they do around the water - cover, warmth and carry - in strictly product terms. Because Roxy is the young women's line, its fits and styling run younger than the parent brand's men's range, a distinction made plain by Roxy having its own profile.

The second women's line, Quiksilver Women, is recorded in a single sentence, kept at that true size: the company has another line of apparel for women under that brand name. No separate product list, launch date or positioning for Quiksilver Women is stated. For a shopper, the practical reading is that women's product under the Quiksilver name itself exists alongside Roxy, so a search for women's Quiksilver clothing should check both names - Roxy first, as the documented young women's line with the tops, tees and denim range, and Quiksilver Women second.

Six Difficult Years, Bankruptcy and a Private Company Again

As of 2013, the company had lost financially for six years and initiated a turnaround plan to resolve this. However, in September 2015 the company filed for bankruptcy. After emerging from bankruptcy in early 2016, the company once again became privately held, with Oaktree Capital Management as the majority shareholder. That sequence - six years of losses, a turnaround attempt, a September 2015 bankruptcy filing, an early-2016 emergence and a return to private ownership under a majority shareholder - is the brand's corporate record, kept as history.

For a brand researcher, that record explains the shape of the women's offer on this page. A surf company rebuilding after bankruptcy is a company whose lines are carried by their strongest names, and on the women's side the record names Roxy - a line with its own logo, its own profile in this directory and its own range of tops, tees, denim, surf clothing and accessories - as the producing brand for young women. This page lists no official Quiksilver website, and points readers instead to the company's profile, news, financial and careers pages on Apparel Search itself, all linked from this page.
