American apparel has done a very good job of blurring the line between fashion and porn. Even most nude fashion photo shoots are less raunchy.
that being said, i'm sure a lot of the 14 year old boy crowd is lovin' american apparel right now haha
well is that not their target demographic? i mean most of the shots look like they got the models drunk at a party and started taking pictures of them while they are passing out on the couch...
Most of them are not porn stars.
They are average girls that live near LA or they are people that work for the company at the headquarters in LA.
The asian girl seen in many of the photos is Kyung who happens to be the main photographer for the company and is a completely awesome 27 year old.
Dov is total sicko but only about 5% if that are pictures that he takes. He used to take a lot but then a few girls pressed charges and what not.
The company has gotten much better though and the ads now aren't quite as provocative and now all the models are pretty much over 22 instead of 19 like before. 3 years does a lot in appearance.
They only look that age because every 15 year old on tv is really 24 and our perception of reality has been obliterated from shows like the secret life of the american teenager and gossip girl.
I promises you almost every single one is at least 20 unless they work at one of the LA shops, then maybe, and its a big maybe, 18.
Also most of those ads are more than 4 years old when Dov still did a lot of the photos. The poses are often as provocative but in more clothing and the ones in underwear are in far less provocative poses.
A lot of their apparel is for things like dancers and acrobats. And yes, even strippers. But call it diversifying your company to meet the needs of everyone. On the plus side, nothing comes with fur or feathers... so it could be way more slutty.
hahaha its pretty funny how you defend every single photo. w/e really, who cares if the posses are provocative or not. it gets people attention and its sexy as hell. not to mention they're not your typical photoshopped gals, these photos seem more real and authentic and i guess that makes it more original and creative than the shit you see in magazines. plus american apparel is based in LA, what do you expect...
Totally. Every outfit at hustler has fur, lace, feathers, rhinestones, or a combination of them.
But then again... those are meant for "real" porn stars, or those who want to imitate.
