27 Naughty American Apparel Ads

Making Waves, From Fake BJs to See-Through Fashion

— May 12, 2010 — Naughty
American Apparel ads are known for their cheeky (pun intended), Photoshop-free provocative ads that border on sensationalism. Apparently, its non-professional models are “real people” who are friends, fans or employees of the company, but a recent controversy questions whether American Apparel is telling the naked truth. Whether you believe it or not, American Apparel ads get the utmost attention for their sexually-charged photography.

From fake BJ American Apparel ads to see-through fashion, the brand with a commitment to basics is also committed to steamy barely-there advertisements.
