Random Fact on: American Apparel

Tue, 01 Aug 2006 17:25:42 +0000

For all our hispter readers, I just wanted to throw a random 2-part fact your way because I know you shop at the store American Apparel.

PART ONE: The founder is Dov Charney

PART TWO: He’s CANADIAN

What would be even more funny is if the ‘anti-sweatshop’ company was manufacturing their clothes in Canada. However, they only have one facility and its located in Los Angeles.

But, the truth is out. The founder of AMERICAN Apparel is CANADIAN! I might as well start Canadian Apparel and move to my American ass to Canada.

In the article that disclosed this information, Charney was also quoted as saying,

“I think for a designer to be in his underwear when he’s designing underwear is quite common. And I’m in my underwear in my office all the time.”

This comment was made AFTER she asked Charney about being accused of sexual harrassment on 3 seperate occassions. COMEDY!

For all of you that want an alternative to shopping at the Good Will and Salvation Army in order to maintain your committment to the hipster style, I have just the solution for you.

Slate magazine recently wrote an article highlighting several picture blogs that have their ear to the street, tracking the latest in fashion trends. Perhaps the best of these blogs is The Satorialist which is run by one of New York’s own. He highlights trends from Harlem to Madison Ave, with a concentration on more of a sophisticated style rather than a ratty pirate look.

Disclaimer: This post is an attempt to lure trendsters away from thrift stores! Or, maybe just to a different section in thrift stores!

Hipster Fashion Company Hires Hipster Coke Head

Hipster jean peddlers Adriano Goldschmied have hired hipster coke head, Dash Snow, to be its spokesman. I have absolutely no idea who Dash Snow is because, obviously, I am not hip enough but his Wikipedia biography reads,

Dash Snow originally started taking photos when he was a teenager. Using his Polaroids as a diaristic record of the many ‘nights before’ he couldn’t remember, his snapshots piece together a fragmented portrait of peripheral existence. Filling in the voids of his blackouts, Snow’s photos broach the seedy and taboo with a dislocated intimacy.

Sounds like a perfect role model for your kids as well as an individual who you’d definitely want to take home to mom. I apologize for that low blow to all beautiful hipster loving females!
