On Sept. 21, the company debuted Free Assembly, a men and women’s label that will offer “elevated style essentials at an incredible value.” The starting fall collection, which is already available for sale, includes more than 30 items for women and 25 items for men that are all priced between $9 and $45. The new in-house line, which is headed by former Bonobos executive Dwight Fenton, aims to be a play in the retailer’s successful private label business that will provide a high-quality product while staying below a $50 price tag, Yahoo! Life reports. “I’ve had a front-row seat to the transformation happening in Walmart’s fashion business,” Fenton, who has also designed for major brands such as J.Crew and Old Navy, told Yahoo! “What’s been missing is a brand that offers modern essentials, so we set out to build that brand.“ae0fcc31ae342fd3a1346ebb1f342fcb The new Walmart fashion line will set itself apart by offering clothing that is as “timeless as it is versatile, with wardrobe staples that are easy to mix, layer and assemble freely,” Denise Incandela, senior vice president of women’s group and elevated and online brands for Walmart, said in a statement.
