They have declared bankruptcy a couple of times and was very controversial. &nbsp;The CEO / Owner had some huge personal , ethical and moral issues and people have been boycotting it for years. &nbsp;I am surprised it made it this far.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/american-apparel-sold-closing-stores#post-1770177 Thu, 19 Jan 2017 18:13:31 +0000 Anonymous 1770177@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Didn't know anything about him or the company. &nbsp;But now that I do. &nbsp;Good riddance. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/american-apparel-sold-closing-stores#post-1770146 Thu, 19 Jan 2017 15:27:09 +0000 Lisa 1770146@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I did not know this, thanks for the heads up! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/american-apparel-sold-closing-stores#post-1770143 Thu, 19 Jan 2017 15:22:13 +0000 Janet 1770143@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Greyscale.

But like Echo, I found the models' pictures pornographic and won't miss that. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/american-apparel-sold-closing-stores#post-1770060 Thu, 19 Jan 2017 03:42:12 +0000 annagybe 1770060@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I miss their original mission.

AA always seemed sleazy to me , although it admittedly read all of the stories about him with a certain amount of perverse glee . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/american-apparel-sold-closing-stores#post-1770032 Thu, 19 Jan 2017 01:29:53 +0000 Greyscale 1770032@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They were a company I wanted to love, but they sure did everything they could to make me hate them.</p> <p>But, I appreciated their products. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/american-apparel-sold-closing-stores#post-1770028 Thu, 19 Jan 2017 01:12:51 +0000 rachylou 1770028@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow.

That's a sad way for them to end, though the end has been nigh for a long while. They've made some terrible management and marketing decisions over the years. I used to love AA, but the quality took a nosedive when they started to diversify and move away from 100% cotton basics. Guess I'll be hanging on to all my old tshirts and interlock miniskirts until they fall apart, for nostalgia's sake.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/american-apparel-sold-closing-stores#post-1770023 Thu, 19 Jan 2017 00:29:03 +0000 Angie 1770023@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Remarkable.
