Sorry, Derek
It’s another fashion post.
I would like to thank http://preshrunk.info for pointing out this NY Times article, which I also somehow missed. Some of this has been bugging me for a while.
Without the sex and recycled porn, without the labor manifesto, American Apparel would be Gap. Just without blue jeans.
Ouch. But thanks for pointing it out. I mean, we were all thinking it, right? Really, whenever I think about getting American Apparel shirts, it is so that I can put my own design on it. It’s just a plain t-shirt. But the labor thing is a pretty big deal, and one that Gap is just not addressing. So, since I don’t have the option of walking into a humiliating American Apparel store anyway, maybe I’ll just buy some online and ignore the pictures.
