Behind the Brand
http://www.brandchannel.com/feat…AA’s founder Dov Charney recently said, “I think [being sweatshop-free] is a secondary appeal and I'm getting a little bored with it myself. I’m de-emphasizing it” (Los Angeles Business Journal, May 2004).
...
The best part of AA’s socially responsible image is that it is really just a big red herring when it comes to the brand’s success. There are numerous clothing brands that identify themselves exclusively as sweatshop free or some such thing. Two notable ones are SweatX and No Sweat, neither of which boasts anything near AA’s success. (The SweatX online store was closed “temporarily” at publication time.) It would be surprising to learn that even 25 percent of AA customers know about any sweatshop free stance.
---------"Dov Charney is a wanker who masturbates in front of a reporter while being interviewed and sexually exploits his employees. This is not a guy to be applauded.
When does he start parading his male employees around half naked and have sex with them? You guys commenting about the busty women ad for American Apparel: why don't you apply for the job of jerking off Dov? I hear it pays well.

Having modeled for AA in the past, I can tell you Dov is a very lecherous man. Sure they take care of the factory workers (I applaud that), but he does treat his admin/models like shit if the girl isn't taken by him. It saddens me to see this happening and nothing be said. Everyone looks at it as a new form of feminism and bullshit like that, but alot of these girls are given jobs and put in the catalog because of past or present sexual relationships with Dov. I know of a few girls including myself that have taken our issues up with Dov only to be dismissed like it was nothing. Dov cares about pussy, not his employees. And yes, he does whip his penis out
