Like most clothing companies, just trying to sell an "image".

I'm cool with bushes, nothing gross as long as they are tended but I really wish American Apparel would drop the perv aesthetic.

When oh when will you go bankrupt, American Apparel?

Thank Jesus. I hope this company goes under.

I have hated it every since I saw their dumb store for the first time when I was in Halifax. They over-charge for hipster clothing that look terrible on everyone. And their ads..good god, fire that marketing team!

Good riddance.

The marketing equivalent of jumping the shark.

Well judging by the photo I don't think they're trying to 'bring the bush back' as this article was so quick to leap to that conclusion.

Looks like a crappy drawing with some random bush. So what?

AA gets the customers they want with their campaigns. Dumb hipsters. I am so surprised that the GP is so incredibly shocked by their advertising. It's silly..
