Haha maybe I am being a little uptight! I do remember that when I went to Europe, less women were wearing a bra there then in the US.
'gross'? what's gross about it?
big deal, they're just boobs and bodies. we've all got them. i will never understand why people are 'offended' by nudity...
also, the only difference between this brand and others is that their models aren't airbrushed to death until it looks like their skin is plastic and devoid of hair and pores. these are a bit more realistic. i for one find that kind of refreshing.
i personally don't see anything wrong with that look
I don't want to shop for socks and be looking at someone's naked behind. When the naked behind is also cellulite-ridden it adds insult to injury.
well, vive la différence. as for american apparel,I think their airbrushing leaves a lot to be desired....

^^It isn't actually that. It's more the overall impression that the seller is simply not bothered with what the models look like, and was careless about the advertising. I'm not unfamiliar with European magazines and ideas of fashion, but this to me is not a way of displaying natural models, it's a lack of care about the overall appearance they project.
Case in point, the airbrushing that I previously mentioned.

If you look at the way the model appears, it does not look like she is wearing dark underwear. It looks like someone did appear to try to cover up whatever she was revealing with something like a black blob from MS Paint, and as a result took a chunk off of her thigh.
So in actuality American Apparel to me comes across as not trying to be 'hip' or 'new' or whatever. I don't even suggest replacing the models. Just using a better photographer/ piicture editor might help. It really feels like they skimped on the cost for photography.
