OK as if I really have to spell it out apparently I have to! This place is a rip off selling supposed handmade items which are in fact factory made. Clothing can't be constructed completely without a human hand thus far. Since clothing doesn't fall from the sky we rely on talented people who either are employed by a large chain, small company, hand made by local designers, thrift ed, or recycled. We all have to wear clothes but we don't all have to support American Apparel.
Top 10 Reasons I don't care for American Apparel!
#1 Lack of creative imagination
#2 Should just be called 80's knock off store
#3 European porn style under age ads
#4 Store design is like a tacky beach store from Venice Beach
#5 Dov Charney
#6 Tasteless antics to get people to buy mindless trendy items which are disposable
#7 The hideous lighting and waste of electricity 24 hour lights on
#8 Another chain ruining the local business economy by being easy
#9 Leaving nothing to the imagination
#10 (ICE) uncovered discrepancies in the documentation of about 25 percent of the company's workers. Because they ship their "Made in America" workers from across the border in a bus! Stop lying and just say Hecho in Mexico!
Okay I feel better now! My rant is about big business lying to the public and using tricks to sell products that actually suck. Just be honest and say "Selling cheaply made garments by under paid immigrant labor to be sold to hip trendy people who are interested in misogynistic antics." Women who shop here just know your not just buying a t-shirt your buying into the problem. I support intelligent use of your hard earned money to buy into images which high light woman as strong, independent and free of from the sex trade stereotypes.
Be informed not conformed! Being average is a choice.
I will not be posting a photo for this chain as I do not support their visual garbage.
