American Apparel
Clamour Magazine has an interesting feature on American Apparel in thier latest issue. I remember we had talked about doing a critical article about AA a few issues ago. The articles on American Apparel are under special features at:
http://www.clamormagazine.org/issues/38/
The articles look at AA from a few different angles, deconstucting thier sexist advertizing, thier anti-union practices, and other hypociticalness
Also, No Sweat (AA's biggest competetor) seems like they might be an interesting company to profile or interview. Unlike American Apparel they don't do any advertizing, relying on grassroots orgs and word of mouth. They seem to be the real deal. Thier website is at:

I hope everyone is having a great break.

when we wanted to do an article on AA way back at issue 3 we were confronted with those issues and controversies. but that time I wasnt daring enough to write something different. but now those controversies are no secrets, most people know about them. No Sweat sounds like a good company to write about.
