i tried

which intl city will get AA next?

maybe a pop up in mtl or toronto

I mean, if they're going to do a few B&M stores in the US, maybe NYC, LA, SF. Where else?

If big Nordstrom stores didn't host Hanes and Everlane pop-ins, AA could have potentially been rly good

did people care about the ethics of Am App or was it just the convenience of well-designed basics? I know I can buy stuff online but I really miss the experience of walking around am app for 15-20 min deciding what to wear to a party that night

what the fuck

?

>sex sells

I remember going to American Apparel once and got a T-shirt. The girl at the register goes "Hi, just this?" "Yes," I replied. She then turns around to ask her colleague something then when she turns back to me she goes "can I help you?"

I don't know if she was fucking with me, retarded, or high, but I realized what kind of people this store is for.

Also I remember they sold this see through lace top which I figured people just wore underneath stuff. I go into a store in New York and the register girl is only wearing that as a top, nipples fully visible. She was hot and it was much appreciated. I still didn't buy anything.

Not a fan of their pieces, but this brand was great. I loved the edge they had, too bad it wasn't appreciated in the mainstream.

Man I know what you mean. I'm a bit too old to even be posting here but before the word "hipster" meant what it meant like 5-10 years ago I used to shop at AA. early 2000s and I remember them having the dumbest employees. We used to call them art fucks or artsy fartsy. The girls would all be super hot alternative stylish hippy girls. But we're they ever dumb as a door knob. The last time I shopped there this girl Liz Lee who had a show on MTV was working there lol. Would always buy sweaters and zip ups shit lasted forever. When I used to buy band closes they would always be American apparel.

the main problem with aa wasn't the edgy porn marketing but the inconsistent product. i've ordered t-shirts from in the same size that were all differently big.
honestly, i prefer chink to mexican work by a large margin.

They failed cause Uniqlo

yeah their whole rapetography deal was actually such a sick look

Uniqlo + H&M + Zara ate up their markets.

>FUCKING GAMESTOP

i miss working there so god damn much
it was dov, literally right after he got fired our sales tanked. not only did he completely tarnish the reputation of AA but he actually knew how to make the company work and what the customers wanted.

I’ve read that he was super autistic and really devoted. Like he would show up to random stores and sweep

Was it too controversial for the mainstream?

Los Angeles Apparel exists

This shit looks terrible

It's the same shit

Made in USA vs not

Vielen Dank für den Versuch, Tripsk

Sex sells only when the product is worth selling.
You're not going to buy shoddy merchandise no matter how pretty the model.

There was nothing worth saving

>I don't know if she was fucking with me, retarded, or high, but I realized what kind of people this store is for.

That one redheads ass is already carved in stone for future generations to remember.

did you summon me?

t. faggot

Why is this so aesthetic?
It seems so raw and natural, like nudes your girlfriend sent, it evokes that sense of teenage freedom.
Why did we let this die?

You're going to love Terry Richardson

he was funny and had a kooky personality, but i can see how that comes across as autism. i only saw him once, came to our store ran his finger across the register and said "someone hasn't been sweeping!!" in a weird voice. he also had a entourage of girls with him, wouldn't be surprised if all were barely legal.
wish he kept his dick in his pants

*someone hasn't been dusting
would also always give out packages (basically free clothes) if he liked your outfit annnnd i've been told he would sometimes just go to the stores safe and walk out with cash lmao

The brand still exists online, but I can't imagine it doing well at all. When I comes down to it, there's nothing special about this brand other than its marketing. I needs to come back to the mainstream by making something worth wearing

...

The only thing they have going is their push of "Made in USA" and "Factory Ethics". Maybe they should go even further and appeal to this crowd. Recycled fabrics like Patagonia? Vegan? Veeky Forums is filled with kids, what are they into these days?

I love their advertising. The fact it's considered so controversial just reflects America's phobia of the human body. More like this. I also love how it's a slap in the face to SJW culture.

Push drug culture. Hemp fabrics.

With the name American Apparel, I don't think they can ever come back to mainstream. Gotta rebrand.

thanks for reminder op, just ordered my gf a bodysuit for christmas :)

besides basics and the marketing another main thing AA had going for them was the weird/unique clothes. scrunchies, fanny packs, loud colorful prints, they were among the first to tap into that late 80s/90s nostalgia. they also had interesting collaborations with artists (nathalie du pasquier, kesh, etc.)
i really don't trust gildan bringing them back to their former glory, if dov's new line can be like peak AA then i'd be happy. no way would it ever be as popular tho

What new brand?

los angeles apparel there isn't much atm, bodysuits and a unisex section with like t-shirts

i can't enjoy terry richardson knowing that ugly son of a bitch has been balls deep in most of the dumb sluts he photographs. part of the appeal is the innocent and pure teenage naivete, which you don't get with terry's stuff.

Needs to come up with a better name than that.

I already miss AA

I was lucky to hit up a few of their stores as everything was closing, and it was all on clearance. Copped a bunch of shit for cheap.

Loved Kacy but pic related will always be my American Apparelfu

Literally Uniqlo but with trashy ads and bimbo employees

Honestly, one of the best photo ads I've ever seen. American Apparel's porn-esque photo shoots is where they really shine. I know they're offensive, but they honestly DO make AA stand out in a positively memorable way. At least in my estimation

Why do 90% of these bitches have good bodies but then a face like a slapped ass?

For me, it's the charm

>I don't know if she was fucking with me, retarded, or high, but I realized what kind of people this store is for.

That's not it. I only know this brand from thrift stores, never saw any advertisements for it. The advertisement is wildly out of line with their very basic boring clothes.

true, most of the basic shit from American Apparel you can find at thrift stores for less than $10. Their website is worth wanking to though.

Ugly face.

talk shit post face

I love the combo of plain qt face with ideal bod desu

I'm not the type of person to spend $50 for a tee-shirt and $100 for jeans. And it's all pretty plane Jane anyways

yea but u kno i had 2 do it 2 em
