"He who marches out of step hears another drum." ~ Ken Kesey
I used to run their print division............... Honduras and Guatemala back then
Early on, about oh, 6-8 years ago, while working for my former employer and researching new products, I was at the American Apparel website and noticed those types of pictures. What was more astonishing and shocking to me, was the fact that they were also posing young girls between the ages of 6 and 14 that same way as well. I was "so shocked" that I then emailed the owner directly.Once doing so and I asked, "what are you really trying to sell us? What are you trying to get me to look at?"pointing out that he is using children in seductive poses...and asked why he is allowing this, he replied nothing about it and came back with "well, (the company I worked for at the time) uses child labor in 3rd world countries"Really? Thats what your going to tell me? Thats your answer to why you use children in sexual poses ?The next time I reluctantly visited that website again, I did not see these same types of poses (on the kids).
