American Apparel and bankrupcy?

Huh, I always figured that clothing companies geared towards the younger generations wouldn’t feel the brunt of the recession…lol

I think a lot of businesses fail like a chain reaction from the bad economy.
And I guess, in some places, they don’t sell as much as other stores.(not as widespreadly known!)

But I’m glad they’re safe!

I’m really not surprised…because lately they’ve gotten expensive out the yin yang.

maybe they will have more sales? lol

i know that to make money you’ve got to spend it and/or get investors, so i think it was more of a “we need more money, who will invest in us now during the recession?” also, a year ago there was only one AA here in Las Vegas. now there are 3, and one outlet (ONE store rarely ever seems to have customers in there everytime i stop by). if they are over-expanding in other places as well, i can understand why they had a moment (or will have) a moment of instability. just look at Starbucks.

oh really i didnt hear about that, goes to website to check sales

Are they a publicly traded company?

Honestly, I like the look of some of their stuff, but I always end up finding a more affordable version elsewhere.

the recession hits anyone!

The recession is hitting companies that don’t make smart investments. Most the people that shop at the cheap clothing retailers are probably taking a big hit, and losing their jobs, or having their time and pay cut back. That’s why AA is probably in trouble.

omg i woulda died i love american apparel tht would have like seriously sucked im suprised though becuse they have stores everywhere i just dont get it

i think i’m one of the few people that’s still doesn’t understand this brand and so could care less if they went away. too pricey for too plain.

There’s an American Apparel 50% off sale at Hautelook.com for the next 35 hours or so. This is probably the only time I’d consider buying from the company.

its true they are so pricey and everything they sell are like basics.
