Profile
Before getting an ubiquitous retail existence, American Apparel had been a maverick wholesaler in East L.A. out to prove that a garments label manufactured in the U.S., free from sweatshop labor, could possibly be both profitable and affordable. While the company may have outgrown a number of its intense personal awareness, its garments continues to be the exact same: solid-color cotton fiber basics for males and ladies in trend-bending styles. The styles tend to be simple and easy affordable enough to layer, though each period brings a few more sexed-up products in action with existing styles. Improvements like swimwear, baby onesies, and ringer T-shirts for dogs also have livened up the collection. No two stores are exactly alike, but all share exactly the same minimalist, DIY design of fluorescent lights, flexible racks, and large voyeuristic pictures, and a social scene of younger, hip consumers pursuing anonymous garments they could infuse making use of their very own sense of design.
