American Apparel (April 2006 - March 2010)

Grr, that's infuriating.

Surely prices should be going down as the pound is so weak...?
(that logic may be faulty)

 

[punky]

Here it is...
Total Cost under $10

 

[loverunway]

cutandpaste- Isn't that the reason prices are going up? Because now when you convert from USD it comes out more... Then again I think they'd be putting the prices up anyway even without the credit crunch and bad exchange rate...

wwwoooohoo the mesh dress is up on the site, but man it looks SHORT and i have a mega long body. for £32, im skeptical. and i dont have an aa anywhere near me to exchange if i dont like it.

Odd Question: for those of you who wear the AA bodysuits or leotards under skirts and whatnot - do they leave a panty line or are they smooth when layering?

 

[atlantis]

depends under what you wear it. i have the micro mesh body and it does show under leggings but not under normal jeans. unfortunately i don't wear skirts so i can't answer you that.
hope that helps!

So scary that they almost went bankrupt.
What would I do without my American Apparel?

 

[waxy]

^oh my god. was that just recent?

 

[loverunway]

really!? I never thought they'd get close as they're so popular! Especially in the recession I thought they'd be doing quite well because they're not THAT expensive and the colours cheer people up haha.

American Apparel is set to sell a 20% stake in the business to private equity firm Lion Capital, according to reports.

The young fashion brand will sell the stake for around $80 million (£57m), in a deal expected to be announced today.
The deal will come as American Apparel races to pay off $16m (£11.4m) of debts to backers. American Apparel’s store sales fell 9% last month, the first monthly drop in the business’ history.
The New York Times reported that shares of American Apparel had been hit by concerns over the retailer’s ability to pay debts.
