You have no wits or intellect or creativity, have you? Nope. You just BUY the names of any recognizable company, and hope moronic people remember the "name brand" too.
Does it matter if the name is no longer associated with a quality product? Of course not. L.B Evans makes garbage footwear now. How many people realize it till after they buy a shoddy pair? How about "Gold Toe" socks, which YOUR creepy company now owns? How about all the other names, from Polaroid to Kodak, that may or may NOT be run by the original owners, maintain any kind of quality, or even can say they are still made in America?
"American Apparel" was run by a gleeful antisemite who thought it was hilarious to STEAL a photo of Woody Allen in Hasidic garb, pretend it was "fair use" and plaster it on billboards to get attention.
Like this:
Ha ha ha, and take a LOL out of petty cash.
Look at the FUNNY JEW!
Just what the point of the ad was, I don't think anyone but Hitler could explain. Something about inferior, ugly, spindly Orthodox Jews needing American Apparel, maybe. Or not being cool enough to buy them? Or being too cheap?
The "Fashion World" is full of arrogant creeps who are so self-entitled that they think copyright law, or ANY law applies to them. You usually hear about these people after they rape and murder some woman in the "meat packing district" after a party during Fashion Week.
The "Fashion World" is notorious for cruelty and stupidity in the name of hipness. Ask Anna "Killer" Wintour, who still encourages anorexic women to diet down to fit into sexless boy-like garments.
The bitch also thinks it's ok to kill animals for coats. She'll even sit next to a Kardashian if the smell of money wafts up her nostrils.
As for the power of God-awful billboard advertising, ask homoerotic Calvin Klein. This cynical basket-case made a habit out of huge billboards showing the bulging crotches of male models in overpriced underwear.
One part of the American Apparel downfall, was that Woody Allen chose NOT to shrug and overlook the insult of using his image in such an unsavory and obnoxious way. He sued. He won.
The owner of American Apparel was surly in defeat:
"I'm not sorry for expressing myself," said DOV. Really, is that what you call it? You express yourself by taking somebody else's creativity? How else do you express yourself? Taking a dump?
Losing five million was not THAT much of a problem for a company in the "Fashion World." Dov figured to make that back in a few months. Just steal more of somebody else's ideas. Get a celebrity like Brooke Shields or Marky Mark or some other empty-skull to stand around in some of your threads and strike a pose.
Sadly, this inept wreck, like so many coked-up arrogant fops, creepy intellectual property brain-pickers, and Garments mementos, spiraled downward further and further into the lower reaches of hack-hell.
He took hundreds of people with him, as he over-expanded like a goose being fed grain for French poseurs.
Ultimately from a con-like crud named Charney, the company goes to a cheesy chump named Chamandy.
A Canadian is now in charge of American Apparel. Not that he didn't have to fight to get this prestigious name. And Lord knows, a bacon-brain like Glenn Chamandy couldn't think of something else and save some money, eh? EH? "American Apparel!" Wow, sounds SO familiar. Like "Toilet Paper" and "Venereal Disease."
Glenn had to out-bid Jeff Bezos of Amazon, who seemed to want to get his parasitic clutches on the valuable name, too. So did the maggots of "Forever 21," who may or may not be affiliated with "Century 21" or "I.Q. 21" or other forgettable (but to the Fashion Industry, VALUABLE) names.
Jesus, when people routinely come up with idiot names and run with 'em (HULU anyone?) who in their right mind pays for something as un-hip and downright BANAL as "American Apparel?" Or is this Canuck planning on selling to gullible Filipinos? Where in the world is AMERICAN clothing still considered hip? Surely not in Mexico or China where most of it is actually made.
