Fashion career profile

Andrew Rosen

Andrew Rosen is an American fashion executive, investor and co-founder of Theory. He began his career at Puritan Fashions in 1977 and became its President and Chief Executive Officer in 1983, continuing a family connection to the garment trade. In 1997 he founded Theory, building the New York label around contemporary clothing, fit and stretch fabrics. Fast Retailing acquired Theory in 2009. Rosen remained its Chief Executive Officer until 2019, when he transitioned to the role of Founder and Advisor. His advisory position is current and should not be confused with day-to-day executive leadership. His career also includes investments in and support for emerging fashion businesses. The profile connects his fashion-house roles to Theory, while his earlier Puritan career is retained as sourced professional context rather than linked to a similarly named, unrelated brand. No education history is added because the sources reviewed do not provide a reliable credential.
