Walmart on Monday unveiled Free Assembly, a private apparel label priced between $9 and $45. The Fall collection includes more than 30 items for women and 25 items for men, according to a company blog post from Denise Incandela, Walmart senior vice president of Women’s Group, Elevated and Online Brands. Development of the line, which is available online and in select stores, was led by Dwight Fenton, whose resume includes J.
