What Will Become Of American Apparel’s Porn Aesthetic?

And for a while, it worked! But I honestly think the American Apparel/Terry Richardson aesthetic is a cliche. To young people in their 20s, that porny aesthetic feels dated and dorky and try-hard. Ronnie Moas of Standpoint Research market research firm told the LA Times that the company was a dinosaur and its drop in earnings could be attributed to its loss in young shoppers, who he said were going to Zara and H&M instead. On the one hand, Charney’s marketing challenged the fashion industrys constricting ideal of beauty (heavily made up, skinny and photoshopped), but on the other hand, it replaced it with an oversexualized ideal inspired by 70s porn. Not only was American Apparel an antifashion fashion brand, it challenged 90s feminist orthodoxies in its aesthetic and through Charneys explicitly sexist and even criminal behavior, documented at length in an NY Magazine article called A Decade of Douchery . He rejects early-90s feminism, an employee told Claudine Ko in an infamous article she wrote for Jane in 2004, in which she reported that Charney masturbated in front of her eight times during the interview.
