PlayStation Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 Glad this companies getting exposed. I thankfully have never been attracted by their douchey clothing and have refused to even step foot in their stores. American Eagle, Hollister also fall under that "wont ever step into" category for myself. EDIT: Will this change your perspective on A&F? Will you stop purchasing their clothing or no?

-AJ- Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 What a great video. I can't completely judge them from one perspective, but it does sound like it's a stupid conceited company. Neat idea by the video maker, haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nuckin_futz Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 Mike Jeffries The CEO of A&F is a train wreck. He's had so much hideous plastic surgery he makes Bruce Jenner look normal. There's more plastic in his face than the average dashboard. This man is 68 years old and has Ryan Kesler's hair cut. For shame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lychees Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 Good intentions with bad execution? I mean he's basically stating that all homeless people are either fat or ugly etc. How about donating some "non-douchey" clothes people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Master Mind Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 Wow, thanks for posting. I've never bought their clothing before, and I'm gonna keep it that way after watching that! What a sickening company. Reputation is more important than helping those in need? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gustavo Fring Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 "Because good-looking people attract other good-looking people, and we want to market to cool, good-looking people. We don't market to anyone other than that." Lol this Jeffries guy is like a villain in a zoolander movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gustavo Fring Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 Ehh that's how I thought about it at first, but Abercrombie and Fitch would rather burn their defective clothing than give it to the poor. Which is terrible. So instead of telling us to throw out of Abercrombie and Fitch clothing into the landfill, give it to the poor, the people A&F don't want wearing their brand. Because really throwing it away would be no different than burning them. But yeah, perhaps could of been better executed but hey he's making a huge difference.

etsen3 Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 I think everyone overreacted to the whole "cool people only" controversy. Every company has a target market, and they are not the only company that specifically targets an exclusive "popular" crowd. His attitude is probably not that much different from any other "status symbol" brands. Luxury airlines, sports car companies, watches, expensive clothing brands, high end clubs etc. all market their products in way that gives them an exclusive image, only for the rich/popular/successful. Not that I personally like their clothes (I've outgrown the age where people think A&F is actually cool). But to the rich popular high school kid crowd that they target, they are a status symbol. So they're not that different from companies like Ferrari or Rolex or Ray-Ban or even the Canucks. These premium products are made for an exclusive crowd, they just don't have the audacity to say it in the way Mike Jeffries did. But they imply it with their advertising, the models they hire, their high cost etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SNACanuck Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 Love it. Nothing like giving AF cloths out on skid row in downtown LA. I have never brought anything there. I see those stupid big model ads at the entrance and its quite obvious AF is douche-couture galore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twilight Sparkle Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 i really don't know anyone who wears A&F clothing. like, all of their clothes suck. you're better off dying from asphyxiation, due to perfume, at hollister Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
