NEW YORK, April 17, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Coogi, the iconic fashion house, has today announced its partnership with Dropp, a creator centric, ad free smart video platform, to create and debut a limited run of apparel on Dropp's innovative platform. This partnership combines limited Coogi product with Dropp's influential creator pool, and makes it exclusively available first on Dropp's next gen smart video platform.
Coogi's Creative Director, Willie Escobar commented: "As a creative veteran in the fashion industry, it's rare that you have a "once in a lifetime" moment to evolve the culture and fashion through tech.

History will repeat itself as we will be the first to embrace change and evolve fashion via Dropp in 2019."
The position of Dropp as a brand makes this collaboration with Coogi all the more important. Coogi is synonymous with the type of talent and brands Dropp is attracting.
