Millennium Apparel Inc. and Accessory Network are on board to produce Lisa Frank apparel and accessories. Lisa Frank's signature artwork, including candy-colored animal prints, has been popular for 20 years with girls 8 to 12, especially in stationery. The graphics' 1980s flair is very on-trend for 2002.

Millennium Apparel will produce sportswear and outerwear to suit each of its retailers for back-to-school.

"We're creating lines with each of our customers in mind, and Lisa Frank's artwork is flexible enough that we can do that," says Charles Becker, executive director of marketing and licensing at Millennium Apparel.
