"We're thrilled to be partnering with Wet Seal to launch the Fifth Harmony collection,” said Mat Vlasic, Vice President of Sony Music Entertainment. “This represents a new approach for Sony Music in the ever changing music business; no longer are we just in the business of breaking artists, we’re also breaking brands."
