Lịch sử thời trang
David Chu founded Nautica in 1983, initially launching with six outerwear styles. The brand expanded into a full apparel line and gained significant cultural traction during the 1990s. It became a staple in urban streetwear and hip-hop fashion, bridging the gap between traditional preppy attire and contemporary youth culture. In 2003, VF Corporation acquired the company, and it was later sold to Authentic Brands Group in 2018. Its history reflects the evolution of American heritage branding.
