Well, we all know that the US clothing company American Apparel has posted some very provocative and controversial ad campaigns in the last few years. In fact, I myself have a mixed relationship with American Apparel - on one hand I do really like and appreciate their basics, and probably have half a closet full of leggings, bodysuits, skirts and even underwear from the company. They operate sweatshop free, and are always speaking out in behalf of gay rights activist groups and immigration reforms. On the other hand I am not fond of the fact that women - no wait, they look barely 18 - young girls, are constantly shown in very provocative, half nude poses. Sex sells. The thing that I find strange is the fact that the men American Apparel shows in their ads are dressed completely. Where is the equality? I mean, it sure is no secret that the CEO of the company Dov Charney is a pervert, who likes to cast his "models" and preferably stand behind the lens to give directions. But c'mon? Have a look for yourself below...

And now look at the ads for the Gentlemen, almost conservative looking right?..
Any thoughts on this?....
