“We are pleased to have reported fourth quarter results that capped off a record year for G-III in which we surpassed $3.0 billion in annual net sales and achieved record profits fueled by our five global power brands, DKNY, Donna Karan, Calvin Klein, Tommy Hilfiger and Karl Lagerfeld. This was also a transformative year for our company as it was the first full year in which products for DKNY and Donna Karan were created and developed by us,” said Morris Goldfarb, G-III’s chairman and chief executive officer, in a company press release.

“In this ever-changing retail landscape, our consistent execution positions us to be a global provider of fashion product. With the current power brands we have today, we believe we can continue to achieve significant organic growth opportunities over the next several years.
