Abercrombie & Fitch to End Its Racy Magazine

Article Abstract:

Abercrombie & Fitch has decided to discontinue its sexually suggestive quarterly magazine that has featured nude and partially nude models. The A&F Quarterly has been a successful marketing tool since 1997, but it has received increasing attention from conservative and feminist groups. The comapny is planning a new campaign in spring 2004 that will enhance its retail catalog for its 700 clothing stores.
