American Apparel Accused of Being Sleazy
 Published: Jan 14, 06

Amarican Apparel accused of being sleezy?  Why?  Just because they make all of their ads look like soft core amateur porn using amateur models in soft core porn sets with suggestive poses?  That’s rediculous.

Two years ago, a clothes shop opened in LA selling bright basics made, it boasted, in sweatshop-free conditions. Today American Apparel is the biggest clothes manufacturer in the US - but its ethical reputation has been soured by allegations of sexual exploitation. Dan Glaister reports Dov Charney is talking. He's been going for something like an hour and there's little sign of him stopping. He speaks without punctuation, rattling off figures, asides, anecdotes and taking phone calls, all at the same breakneck speed. Occasionally the patter is accompanied by the flapping of arms or a jig around his cluttered office. For emphasis - or perhaps because he simply likes the sound of it - he frequently punches a fist into his open palm. At one point he pulls down the waistband of his trousers to show me his electric-pink Y-fronts. "I have a men's underwear here, a brief, that you would probably like to wear," he says. "A lot of people say" - smacks fist into palm - "that's a perfect underwear. I made 165 versions of it. I was in my underwear for, like, six months. I gave up even putting my pants on." (guardian)
