In this section of our guide you will find fashion or textile companies that are publically traded or have been a publicly held company at some point in their history.
A public, publicly traded, publicly held company, or public corporation is a corporation whose ownership is dispersed among the general public in many shares of stock which are freely traded on a stock exchange or in over the counter markets. In this section you will find fashion retailers that have been publically traded (or possibly later taken back private).
A stock market, equity market or share market is the aggregation of buyers and sellers (a loose network of economic transactions, not a physical facility or discrete entity) of stocks (also called shares); these may include securities listed on a stock exchange as well as those only traded privately.
In this section of our directory you will find information about public companies as well as companies that have previously been public. Each company listed in this guide has relevance to the clothing or textile industry.
