The World's Largest Apparel Companies 2016

As the forces shaping what we wear for work, play and working out, Christian Dior, Nike and Zara-owner Inditex have established themselves as some of the most preeminent names in apparel and fashion. Yet their influences aren't limited to the ubiquity of their designs and logos: According to a measure of their revenue, profit, assets and market cap, they are the three largest apparel companies in the world.

Apparel companies account for 29 spots on the Forbes Global 2000, its annual and comprehensive list of the world’s largest and most powerful public companies as measured by a composite score of revenues, profits, assets and market value. Those 29 names include industry giants, like Coach, Burberry and Hermes.
