Le Tigre had become popular during the later 1980s; celebrities from Wilt Chamberlain, LL Cool J, and even Ronald Reagan were seen wearing the tiger. The company is based in New York City. Le Tigre has been a subsidiary of Kenneth Cole Productions since 2007.^[1][2] The brand was then purchased by Infinity Lifestyle Brands and Hilco Brands in November 2015.^[3]
