ისტორია
Founded in 1988 by Vladimir Melnikov, Gloria Jeans originated as the first legal cooperative producing denim garments in the Soviet Union. The company transitioned from a small-scale manufacturing operation in Rostov-on-Don to a dominant regional retailer. Its historical significance lies in its role during the economic transition of the 1990s, providing affordable apparel as the Russian market opened to private enterprise and international fashion standards.
