Sportswear International

What Sportswear International does

Sportswear International is a fashion trade media outlet founded in 1975 and headquartered in Tarrytown, United States, publishing The SPIN OFF, a digital magazine covering progressive and sustainable fashion. The publication delivers news, trend analysis, brand coverage, galleries, videos, and trade-show reporting across the denim, sportswear, textile, and apparel sectors for an audience that includes fashion industry professionals, brands, designers, textile manufacturers, and sustainability-focused readers.

The outlet distributes content through a website (the-spin-off.com), a free editorial newsletter (The SPIN OFF Editorial NL), and an Instagram account (@the_spin_off_), and is operated by a very small editorial team of 1-10 employees. The publication marked its 50th anniversary in 2025 with a special edition, but a company statement on the homepage indicates that parent entity Edizioni Ecomarket Srl is closing and The SPIN OFF has ceased publication. Revenue mechanics, advertising rates, and ownership structure are not disclosed in the available source material.
