WATCH: Dope Little Kids Breakdance For American Apparel
As uncomfortable as it makes us to know that someone allowed Dov Charney near their children, we are pretty happy about this new American Apparel commercial, in which world renowned break dancers Jalen Testerman (10) and Angelo Baligad (9) treat breakdancing like it’s a walk in the park.
PHOTOS: American Apparel’s New Boob-Filled Jeans Ads (NSFW)
You know what’s not a secret? American Apparel is in serious financial trouble. You know what else is not a secret? Sex sells! Or at least it’s supposed to. Which is why for the past decade or so American Apparel has resorted to hiring nude models in its advertising. The latest ads, for the company’s new line of women’s jeans, are just as porny as the rest of them, but they leave us questioning whether or not the strategy is actually going to work.
Dov Charney Has A Browser Bookmark For ‘Good Hookers’
Today Dov Charney hosted a webinar for American Apparel store managers, via his personal computer.

WATCH: American Apparel Gets The Taiwanese CGI Treatment
Somewhere, an American Apparel investor is praying Dov Charney‘s remarkable ability to garner headlines will somehow translate to in store sales. But in the meantime, Taiwanese animation aficionados NMA have included the ailing brand in their latest offering: “America’s Fastest Dying Industries.” This may sound crunchy and probably depressing, but just wait until CGI Dov appears. The payoff is sweeter than we could ever imagine.
Will A New Denim Line Save American Apparel?
In March, before word got out about just how bad American Apparel‘s financial situation is, the company’s CEO Dov Charney announced that he’d unveil a denim line this month. On Monday, he sent out a press release detailing exactly what those jeans will look like. But with the company in so far over its head, we’re wondering whether or not a few pairs of jeans will be enough to save the company.
Is This The Beginning Of The End For American Apparel?

Today, the picture has become a little clearer, with WWD reporting that unless a fiduciary miracle happens before April 30 (like someone buying a controlling stake in the brand), CEO Dov Charney and company might have to file for bankruptcy protection.

Guess How Much Money American Apparel Lost In 2010?
How many sentences have we written lately that begin with the words “As if Dov Charney didn’t have enough to worry about already …”? Well, as if Dov Charney didn’t have enough to worry about already, it was reported this morning that the clothing company he founded, American Apparel, ended 2010 on a really bad financial note. How bad? Let’s just say in a year, it lost more money than we’ll ever actually see in our lifetimes.
Dov Charney Buys A Little More Of His Own Company
Over the weekend, American Apparel founder Dov Charney gave his flailing clothing company a much needed shot in the arm by way of trading a couple million dollars for a few million shares of stock. Because he’s totally not going to need that money for anything else.
Will Wholesale Save The Floundering American Apparel?
American Apparel has been in trouble for some time now (and we’re not just talking about those sexual abuse allegations which, as of today, just got about four times worse). The business side of things keeps looking more and more dismal. The debt, the delisting scare, the management changes — it’s all just really messy. Looking to stay afloat, the company is now going to give wholesaling a try.

Photoshop Makes American Apparel Dress Even Less Flattering
American Apparel‘s two-tone spandex minidress is one of the least flattering dresses of all time. We’ve seen it on enough girls swilling vodka sodas while teetering on 5-inch heels to verify this in a somewhat scientific fashion. Anyway! Just when we thought the tight frock couldn’t get any more unforgiving, American Apparel committed a rather unbecoming Photoshop atrocity.
