Paul Frank's Julius and Gang Land in Latin America

Fashion Depot, a division of Intermoda Fashion Group, has been tapped to launch a wide ranging fashion line in Latin America inspired by Paul Frank's Julius the monkey and other characters.

The line ($19 to $29) for infants, toddlers, boys and girls will arrive in August at department stores Palacio de Hierro and Liverpool. It will include T-shirts, polo shirts, tank tops, sweaters, skirts, shorts, jackets, jeans, dresses, coats, pants, swimwear, pajamas and underwear. A collection for juniors and young men from Fashion Depot will roll out next year.

"Our partnership with Fashion Depot provides us with an exceptional opportunity to continue expanding Paul Frank into new markets," says Ryan Heuser, president of Paul Frank Industries. "Our launch plan for the Mexican market has been extensively researched and Fashion Depot is the best partner to help us realize our goals."
