After seeing numerous [sleazy print ads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/people-will-talk) from this clothing company, it shouldn't be a surprise that it's back to its usual ways. Starting the new year with some fresh American Apparel 2011 ads, the company takes another crack at more butt-baring spreads.

Another bizarre set of images have now surfaced, presenting real [college students](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/backtoit-campaign) being hung from trees, climbing ladders and hanging out with naked mannequins. In [scantily-clad basics](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mariemurs-judge-me-guilty), these students show off their wild side rather than their academic side in these new American Apparel 2011 ads.
