Denim brands feature prominently in a list of new directors that trade group the American Apparel & Footwear Association (AAFA) has appointed.

In a mid-March announcement, AAFA named the chief operations officer at Levi Strauss, Liz O’Neill as one of its new directors. Ms O’Neill has worked at Levi’s for more than eight years and held senior supply chain management roles before moving to her current position in 2020. Before Levi’s, she worked at Gap.

Gap’s chief growth transformation officer, Sally Gilligan has also been named among the new directors of AAFA. Ms Gilligan took up this role a year ago, after working for a number of years as Gap’s chief information officer.
