It's summer, and you know what that means: Three straight months of swimsuit fuckery!

American Apparel shows off yet another nearly naked woman, this time in the name of fair labor practices. Because boobs and decent pay for a day's work are completely corollary. (Excuse me while I check my breasts and look for a paycheck to fall from the sky.) The company's newest ad features an actual employee named…

American Apparel's recent advertising choices seem to be part of a bigger plan to prove that they're "a company that celebrates natural beauty" (or will do anything for press). Too bad those choices aren't translating into um, real money.

American Apparel CEO Dov Charney, aka the guy pictured in the wikipedia's definition of "sleazy," recently said that he’s not so into the one thing that makes his company redeemable — the practice of making his clothes in America. For the most part, sans that immigration scandal.

American Apparel, the retailer where I buy all of the yoga pants I use as regular pants (to the chagrin of others), has revealed their newest lingerie model, 62-year-old Jacky O'Shaughnessy. You may recognize O'Shaughnessy from previous AA ad campaigns, but this is the first time she has posed for advertisements that…

It's not just the merkin-working American Apparel mannequins! In an attempt to woo customers, retailers are tinkering with more realistic models, adding everything from heads to tattoos and back fat.

Yesterday, an American Apparel outpost in downtown Manhattan rolled out a window display featuring mannequins rocking serious pubic hair. Well, the company has since explained itself and—wouldn't you know? They just want us to feel comfortable with our bodies, ladies!

This may be the most stereotypically American Apparel thing that American Apparel has ever done. A downtown Manhattan outpost now has a trio of mannequins in its window, clad in just translucent white underwear—all of them with a substantial thatch of pubic hair.

As an honor student, I don't like failing tests, but this NSS magazine quiz (NSFW!) is kicking my ass. The magazine's website has a visual test clipping images from either fashion or pornography and the viewer has to guess which category the photo falls under. After your choice, the photo expands to a huge size. Yes,…

Petra Collins, the artist behind American Apparel's new menstruating vagina shirt, spoke to VICE and said that all the attention the shirt has gotten has been "really awesome" and "exactly" what she wanted.

For just $32, you can walk around in public wearing a jersey cotton, sweatshop-free T-shirt featuring a graphic illustration of a woman masturbating while her vagina is gushing blood.

Unless you regularly shop for plus-size clothing, you may not realize how fucking hard it is to find plus-size clothing in stores. This is a big deal, since time and time again, we hear that the average American woman wears a 14 or 16. The size at which "plus" begins.

In an hour-long podcast for VICE with Reihan Salam, American Apparel CEO Dov Charney railed against the apparel industry, arguing that the recent factory collapse in Bangladesh – the one that killed over 1,000 workers, not to be confused with one of the other sweatshop disasters – should be used as "an opportunity to…

As a friend recently lamented, "In the future everything was supposed to be metallic or self-cleaning, but everything is jersey." True. Every futuristic portrayal of fashion may show us all wearing the same thing, but at least that same thing is often a badass amalgam of chrome, black, breathable fabrics and stylish…

Usually when Dov Charney is sued by an employee, it involves women accusing him of sexual harassment, but a recent lawsuit filed in Los Angeles Superior Court was brought on by a guy claims Charney had choked him and rubbed dirt in his face. Michael Bumblis had worked for American Apparel as a store manager in Malibu,…

Scumbaggy American Apparel CEO Dov Charney recently used the blunderbuss of a talking hole he ordinarily uses to defend himself against sexual assault allegations to insist that his company's "Made in America" business model is not only salvageable, but a good long-term bet. This despite the fact that American Apparel…

Dov Charney gave a rare on-camera interview to CNBC which aired today. In it, the founder of hipster t-shirt-and-scrunchy supplier American Apparel laughed off his company's ongoing financial troubles. Charney thinks that "you're casting it from the wrong perspective" if you point out that the company he founded is…
