American Eagle launches denim line with Sydney Sweeney to boost Gen Z appeal

American Eagle Outfitters AEO.N surged 10% on Thursday after unveiling a new denim campaign with Sydney Sweeney, as the apparel retailer bets on the "Euphoria" and "The White Lotus" actress to reconnect with Gen Z shoppers and boost sales. The company has partnered with Sweeney for its fall season denim collection that includes a limited-edition denim jacket as well as a "The Sydney Jean." The campaign, called "Sydney Sweeney Has Great (American Eagle) Jeans," is the company's latest effort to revive demand as it navigates muted consumer spending and higher potential costs due to tariffs. Retail industry profits: Tariffs have worried parents starting back-to-school shopping early The retail industry in the United States has been struggling to spur demand as consumers grappling with financial constraints cut back on non-essential buys, including apparel and accessories. In May, American Eagle, which primarily sources from China, pulled its annual forecasts due to tariff uncertainty. "(The campaign) is its bid to stand out more and make some noise. Denim is popular right now, so putting money behind marketing it makes sense for American Eagle," GlobalData managing director Neil Saunders said. The Sweeney partnership is not the first time a celebrity tie-up has helped drive shares of a company. In 2020, Crocs CROX.O shares jumped after singer Justin Bieber teased a collaboration with the shoe maker. American Eagle has previously teamed up with celebrities, including tennis player Coco Gauff and actress Jenna Ortega. "Well-known personalities are always an easier way to tell a story quickly. It is one of the reasons athlete endorsements work so well," BMO Capital Markets analyst Simeon Siegel said. Sweeney's campaign, which launched on Wednesday and is reportedly the company's most expensive campaign to date, will also run across the exosphere of Las Vegas's 3D display orb Sphere. American Eagle's stock was discussed on retail trader-focused social media forums including Stocktwits and Reddit, indicating interest among small-time traders who have driven up shares of retailer Kohl's KSS.N and other highly shorted names in recent days. Short interest in the company, whose shares were trading at $12 on Thursday, stood at 12.2% of public float, according to LSEG data.

It's been a rough week for Gen X — losing Theo, Ozzy and now ‘Real American' icon Hulk Hogan

It's been a week of tremendous loss for us Gen-X kids. The last few days on social media has felt like one long requiem for the pop culture of the 1980s and '90s. First, lovable 'Cosby Show' star Malcolm-Jamal Warner — aka Theo Huxtable — tragically drowned while swimming in Costa Rica, at only 54 years old. Then Prince of Darkness Ozzy Osbourne passed away at 76. On Thursday, wrestling icon Hulk Hogan fulfilled the old saying that death comes in threes. And, oh brother, that last one was a dropkick to my heart. Like for legions of others, sadness is running wild all over my precious childhood memories of a time when Hulkamania reigned. 7 Hulk Hogan became a supporter of Donald Trump and spoke at his MSG rally just before the 2024 election. Stephen Yang At 71, Hogan was relatively ancient for a pro wrestler whose body had endured years of back-breaking acrobatic maneuvers, corrective surgeries and admitted steroid abuse. So many of his fellow performers who toiled in the ring went to early graves. But as a friend remarked Thursday, it felt like Hogan — real name was Terry Bollea — was never going to die. It's been a long time since he was the young stud who convincingly played Thunderlips, 'The Ultimate Male,' in 'Rocky III,' a role that would turn Hogan into a superstar and take pro wrestling into a golden age. And I'm sure he was no longer strong enough to scoop up and body-slam a man of Andre the Giant's stature, like he did in 1987 at Wrestlemania III. But decades on, Hogan remained faithful to his shtick and his platinum horseshoe mustache. Last summer, he burst into the Republican National Convention with his high-octane personality, shouting and gesticulating like vintage Hogan. He seemingly hadn't lost a step — even performing his patented move of vigorously tearing off his shirt … revealing not his abs but a Trump/Vance T-shirt. 7 Hogan starred in 'Rocky III'as a flamboyant wrestler named Thunderlips and manhandled Sylvester Stallone's Rocky. His rousing speech and presence assured the RNC was a proper Trumpian circus, leaving the party's stodgy pearls and sweater-set culture of yore in the dirt. Pundits can argue over the merits of such an appearance but, thanks to Hogan, the night was not lacking in entertainment. That was his specialty. Hogan was an enduring showman. Fittingly, Hogan's theme song was Rick Derringer's 'Real American.' As a young performer, he personified the boldness of the United States of America in the 1980s, helping to export our culture to a global audience. A 6-foot-7, he was big, he was golden-haired, he was optimistic and he was always flexing his massive muscles. 7 During the 2024 Republican National Convention, Hulk Hogan spoke and ripped off his shirt, revealing a Trump/Vance campaign shirt.

As a country, we had no better hypeman than when he swooped his hand to his ear — demanding more celebration from the crowd. Hogan also exuded a wholesomeness, regularly reminding kids to 'say your prayers, eat your vitamins…be a real American.' Transcending the ring, he set the blueprint for megastars like John Cena and Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson to take over Hollywood. Like Forrest Gump, he managed to pop up in almost every major part of American life: movies, sports, reality television — and, yes, even a consequential 2016 trial that grappled with the First Amendment and privacy rights. The latter was the result of leaking a sex tape Hogan had made with a friend's wife — one of a few scandalous moments in his very public life. Secretly backed by billionaire Peter Thiel, who also had an ax to grind against the site, Hogan sued the outlet in a trial that proved as sensational as a wacky WWE storyline. Hogan emerged victorious, and about $31 million richer. In one surreal moment, he appealed to the judge to allow him to wear his trademark bandana in court. Request granted. 7 Ozzy Osbourne passed away on Tuesday aged 76 after battling Parkinsons for years.

MediaPunch / BACKGRID 7 Hulk Hogan testified in his lawsuit against Gawker — and petitioned the judge to be able to wear his bandana. REUTERS Life always imitated art with Hogan, a master of kayfabe. He was delightfully ridiculous. To quote the man himself: 'Hulkamania will live forever.'
