Hi everyone,

Please keep in mind that American Apparel is a retailer that celebrates natural beauty. We encourage employees to feel comfortable in their natural skin and natural state. This aesthetic is a part of the company image; as we do not photoshop our advertisements and our models appear in their natural state, it’s important that this image is cohesive in the stores.

As Dov Charney doubles down on American Apparel’s sinking ship, it’s worth taking a look back at their controversial policies that got them here in the first place, conveniently located in our newest issue “Lines of Work.”
