Podcasts about American Apparel

Another workweek, another outrage, another Casual Friday. Lileks, Hayward, and Cooke remain (reasonably) laid back in the face of madman theory in action, tariff tranches, deadly predators, and pun-heavy advertisements.- Sound from this week's open: Sydney Sweeny promoting American Apparel jeans and Donald Trump explains how to escape from alligators.  

In this episode, Amy Merrick joins us to unpack the rise and fall of American Apparel—a brand that once defined hipster cool and sexual provocation. We explore its bold aesthetics, and controversial founder Dov Charney, who had an ignominious fall.

In the 2000s, American Apparel wasn't just a clothing brand, it was a cultural moment. With its provocative ads, made-in-LA ethos, and promise of effortless cool, it captured the hearts (and wardrobes) of a generation. But behind the glossy sheen of disco panties and deep-V tees was a much darker story. In this episode, we dive into the rise and fall of American Apparel and the disturbing behavior of its founder, Dov Charney. From workplace allegations and hypersexual marketing to the brand's implosion, we explore how a so-called progressive fashion empire masked a toxic power structure, and why we were all so quick to buy into it.

Llegó a pantallas de cine la nueva entrega de Superman, un superheroe que ha tenido diversas versiones tanto en tele como en cine, para rescatar a un personaje que hace casi 5 décadas tuvo un éxito inmenso, pero que no ha podido penetrar de nuevo en el gusto de la gente. Esta vez dirige James Gunn, un director que conoce bien el género y que imprime una visión única. Back to the basics; es Superman quizá el woke anti fascista de toda la vida.Llegó a Netflix la nueva serie de Lena Dunham, se llama "Too Much" y hay bastante que analizar.Estamos en la cuenta regresiva rumbo al Emmy; quedan dos meses y echamos algunas predicciones, incluyendo "The Pitt", la serie de HBO Max que estamos seguros que entra por su inmensa calidad.

Esto y mucho más, en este su bonito capitulo semanal de Brujas.

Brad Pitt's carefully crafted F1: The Movie promo run has us thinking about how celebrities script their own stories and how easily we buy into them. From Brad's quiet erasure of abuse allegations by Angelina Jolie to Chris Brown packing stadiums despite a long history of violence, we're diving into the messy, age-old question: can you really separate the art from the artist? Also this week: a gorgeously candid Charlize Theron interview, Tim Key's rom-com of the summer The Ballad of Wallis Island and Netflix's jaw-dropping exposé on the cult of American Apparel and the toxic founder Dov Charney.

Craig Patterson and Tony Flanz, founder and CEO of Montreal-based brokerage Think Retail, discuss the 20-year journey of Think Retail, the Montreal-based brokerage firm founded by Flanz in 2005. Flanz shares the inspiration behind launching his business—a desire to provide a more personalized, white-glove service to clients—and reflects on his first client, Bizou, a relationship that blossomed into a deeply personal, multi-generational collaboration. His unwavering passion and client-first approach remain at the heart of Think Retail's success, which continues to grow through long-term partnerships and strategic leasing across Canada. They explore milestone moments, including the pivotal Fossil mandate, early deals like American Apparel at Yorkdale, and the emotional story of Flanz's philanthropic work with Autism Speaks. While building his firm, Flanz faced immense personal challenges—supporting a son diagnosed with autism and caring for a terminally ill wife—yet he continued to grow the business with resilience and optimism. He credits the brokerage as both a professional outlet and emotional anchor during these years. They also discuss how Think Retail is shaping the future of Canadian retail, from introducing international brands like Adopt, Kmart 24, and Morgan de Toi, to helping Crocs expand across Canada. Flanz emphasizes the enduring value of integrity, relationships, and local market insight in an industry increasingly shaped by online retail, entertainment-focused malls, and digital tools. Looking ahead, he sees vast opportunity for global brands in Canada, thanks to low market saturation, high-performing malls, and a strong national identity. Interviewed this episode:Tony Flanz, President at Think RetailThink RetailThis podcast is the audio version of the The Interview Series video podcasts by Retail Insider Canada are available through our Retail Insider YouTube Channel where you can subscribe and be notified when new video episodes are available. Subscribe, Rate, and Review our Retail Insider Podcast! Follow Craig:LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/CraigPattersonTorontoInstagram: @craig_patterson_torontoTwitter: @RI_EIC Follow Retail Insider:LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/company/Retail-InsiderFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/RetailInsider/Twitter: @RetailInsider_Instagram: @Retail_Insider_Canada Share your thoughts!Drop us a line at Craig@Retail-Insider.com.

In the early 2000s, American Apparel was the coolest kid on the block, slinging ethically-made tees and scandalous billboards. But founder Dov Charney's penchant for office orgies and nude photoshoots proved too spicy for Wall Street, turning his sweatshop-free dream into a nightmare of lawsuits, bankruptcy, and one very public walk of shame.Sasheer Zamata and Jared Goldstein join Misha to uncover the almost naked truth behind American Apparel.

China has vowed to take firm and necessary countermeasures in response to the United States' escalating tariff threats, reaffirming its commitment to defending national interests while upholding the stability of the global trade system.中国发誓将采取坚决必要措施，以应对美国不断升级的关税威胁，重申其维护国家利益和维护全球贸易体系稳定的决心。Analysts said that China's move sent a strong signal to the international community of rejecting unilateralism and joining efforts to safeguard multilateral trade rules.分析人士表示，中国此举向国际社会发出强烈信号，表明中国反对单边主义，携手维护多边贸易规则。They noted that Beijing retains ample policy tools to respond, including raising tariffs on US energy and agricultural imports, as well as further expanding export controls on critical minerals such as rare earth elements. These targeted actions are expected to increase pressure on Washington and could pave the way for a return to rational negotiations, they added.他们指出，北京方面拥有充足的政策工具来应对，包括提高对美国能源和农产品进口的关税，以及进一步扩大对稀土元素等关键矿产的出口管制。他们补充说，这些有针对性的行动预计将加大对华盛顿的压力，并可能为恢复理性谈判铺平道路。"China will resolutely take countermeasures to safeguard its rights and interests, should the United States escalate its tariff measures," the Ministry of Commerce said in a statement on Tuesday, hours after the US threatened to impose a further 50 percent tariff on China if Beijing does not withdraw its 34 percent counter-tariff.中国商务部周二在一份声明中表示：“如果美国升级关税措施，中方将坚决采取反制措施，维护自身权益。”此前数小时，美国威胁称，如果北京不撤销已加征的34%反制关税，将对中国进一步加征50%的关税。US President Donald Trump signed an executive order on April 2 regarding the so-called "reciprocal tariffs", imposing a 10 percent "baseline tariff" and higher rates on certain trading partners.美国总统唐纳德·特朗普于4月2日签署了一项关于所谓“对等关税”的行政命令，决定对部分贸易伙伴征收10%的“基准关税”，并提高其税率。Last week, Beijing adopted an array of countermeasures, including an additional 34 percent tariff on US imports, following a decision by the US to impose an additional 34 percent tariff on Chinese imports.上周，继美国决定对中国进口产品加征34%的关税后，北京方面采取了一系列反制措施，包括对美国进口产品加征34%的关税。"The US' tariff escalation threat against China compounds its mistake and further exposes its nature of blackmail, which China will never accept," the ministry said. "China will fight till the end if the US is bent on going down the wrong path."中国商务部表示：“美方对华升级关税威胁加剧了其错误，进一步暴露了其讹诈本质，中方绝不接受。如果美方执意沿着错误的路走下去，中方将坚决斗争到底。”Analysts believe that the set of forceful and targeted countermeasures that Beijing has taken showed that it has ample tools at its disposal, especially against sectors and companies that are priorities for the Trump administration, and where China's dependence is not significant.分析人士认为，北京方面采取的一系列强硬且有针对性的反制措施表明，其拥有充足的反制手段，尤其针对特朗普政府重点关注、而中国对美依赖程度不高的行业和企业。The energy and agricultural sectors that Trump hopes to bolster are also the primary industries in some US states. Intensifying sanctions on these sectors would therefore heighten domestic pressure on the Trump administration, said Luo Zhiheng, chief economist at Yuekai Securities.特朗普希望加强的能源和农业部门，也是美国一些州的主要产业。因此，粤开证券首席经济学家罗志恒表示，加大对这些行业的制裁力度将加剧特朗普政府的国内压力。Luo said that China can consider extending export restrictions to potentially include lighter rare earth elements like lanthanum and cerium, as the US is highly dependent on such Chinese imports.罗志恒表示，中国可以考虑扩大出口限制，可能将镧和铈等较轻的稀土元素也纳入其中，因为美国高度依赖中国进口稀土元素。"The trade war this time is not one that can easily be settled through concessions," Luo said. "China must take firm and resolute countermeasures to defend its interests, which will then compel the US to come back to the negotiating table."“这次的贸易战不是一场能轻易通过让步解决的贸易战，”罗志恒表示，“中国必须采取坚决有力的反制措施，捍卫自身利益，从而迫使美国重返谈判桌。”The US saw widespread protests over the weekend that in part opposed the Trump administration's aggressive tariff policies, which are seen as inflicting real economic pain on households and businesses across the country.上周末，美国爆发了大规模抗议活动，部分原因是抗议特朗普政府激进的关税政策，这些政策被认为给美国各地的家庭和企业带来了实质性经济伤害。Steve Lamar, president and CEO of the American Apparel & Footwear Association, said in a statement last week, "To be clear, tariffs are taxes borne by the American companies that import the goods and the hardworking American families that buy those goods."美国服装和鞋类协会主席兼首席执行官史蒂夫·拉马尔上周在一份声明中表示：“明确地说，关税是由进口商品的美国公司和购买这些商品的辛勤工作的美国家庭承担的税款。”"Tariffs will significantly increase the cost of manufacturing in the US, and, when paired with the retaliatory tariffs that will surely come, will undermine US export opportunities as well," Lamar said.“关税将大幅增加美国制造业的成本，再加上必然会采取的报复性关税，还将损害美国的出口机会。”拉马尔说道。China's potent countermeasures don't mean that a trade war is the only way forward, as Beijing stands ready to talk with Washington.中国的强硬反制措施并不意味着贸易战是唯一的出路，北京随时准备与华盛顿对话。China urges the US to immediately correct its wrongdoing, cancel all unilateral tariff measures against China, stop its economic and trade suppression, and settle differences with China properly through dialogue on an equal footing and on the basis of mutual respect, the Commerce Ministry said.中国商务部表示，中方敦促美方立即纠正错误做法，取消所有针对中国的单边关税措施，停止其经贸打压，并在平等和相互尊重的基础上通过对话妥善解决与中方的分歧。Beijing is not alone in facing the Trump administration's "Liberation Day" tariffs. The White House has dragged its own long-standing allies into the fray, including imposing additional tariffs as high as 20 percent on imports from the European Union, 25 percent on imports from South Korea and 24 percent on imports from Japan.北京并非唯一面临特朗普政府“解放日”关税的国家。白宫将其长期盟友拖入战局，包括对欧盟进口产品征收高达20%的额外关税，对韩国进口产品征收高达25%的额外关税，对日本进口产品征收高达24%的额外关税。"By placing massive and disproportionate tariffs on our friends and our enemies alike and thereby launching a global economic war against the whole world at once, we are in the process of destroying confidence in our country as a trading partner, as a place to do business and as a market to invest capital," said Bill Ackman, a hedge fund titan who endorsed Trump's run for president.支持特朗普竞选总统的对冲基金巨头比尔·阿克曼表示：“通过对我们的朋友和敌人征收巨额且不成比例的关税，从而同时向全世界发动一场全球经济战，我们正在摧毁人们对我国作为贸易伙伴、经商环境和投资市场的信心。”"We will severely damage our reputation with the rest of the world that will take years and potentially decades to rehabilitate," Ackman said in a post on social media platform X.阿克曼在社交媒体平台X上发帖称：“这将严重损害我们在世界其他国家的声誉，需要数年甚至数十年才能恢复。”Ma Guangyuan, a senior economist, said the era of the US calling the shots and forcing countries to choose sides is over, as the US-led trade system is falling apart. However, this does not mean the end of free trade itself, as the global community still recognizes the benefits of open economic cooperation, Ma said.资深经济学家马光远表示，美国发号施令、迫使各国选边站队的时代已经结束，美国主导的贸易体系正在崩溃。然而，这并不意味着自由贸易本身的终结，因为国际社会仍然认同开放经济合作的益处。"Economics will triumph over politics and free trade will overcome hegemony," Ma added. "China can seize this chance to broaden its circle of friends and jointly foster a new trade framework on the foundation of equality, freedom and mutual benefits with other economies."“经济将战胜政治，自由贸易将战胜霸权，”马光远补充道。“中国可以抓住这个机会，扩大‘朋友圈'，与其他经济体共同构建一个在平等、自由、互利基础上的新型贸易框架。”High-ranking officials from Italy, Portugal and France, as well as the European commissioner for trade and economic security, visited China in late March. Around the same time, South Korea and Japan agreed to accelerate negotiations with China on the stalled trilateral free trade agreement.意大利、葡萄牙和法国的高级官员以及欧盟贸易和经济安全事务专员于3月底访华。与此同时，韩国和日本同意加快与中国就陷入僵局的三边自由贸易协定进行谈判。"Our championing of free trade is not just a response to US aggression, but a strategic initiative to guide the development of the multilateral system in a direction that benefits all," said Mei Xinyu, a researcher at the Chinese Academy of International Trade and Economic Cooperation.中国国际贸易经济合作研究院研究员梅新育表示。“中国倡导自由贸易不仅是对美国侵略行为的回应，更是引导多边体系朝着惠及各方方向发展的战略举措，”"The US' blanket, across-the-board imposition of high tariffs this time might end up uniting all the affected economies into a shared marketplace that could potentially dwarf the size of the US market," Mei said.梅新育说：“美国此次全面征收高额关税，最终可能会将所有受影响的经济体联合成一个共享市场，这可能会使美国市场的规模相形见绌。”countermeasuresn.反制措施baseline tariffn.基线关税unilateralismn.单边主义blackmailn.讹诈；威胁disproportionate tariffs不成比例的关税economic coercionn.经济胁迫

Happy Everything Is Content day & Happy Friday!Ruchira is back from her holiday... We're SO back... but we're also so sorry to tell you that we're now old enough that Gen Z are romanticising the 2010s. After years of us Millennials being an absolute joke to them, they're now craving a life of Buzzfeed, hipster myspace and American Apparel disco pants. We ask what it is about Millennial culture that is so cringe, but also, somehow better than whatever is going on right now.Next up, women in male dominated fields! Beth found a really interesting article on the website Semafor by Max Tani called “Young conservative women build an alternative to the manosphere.” And in the piece Tani explores several key female right wing creators who are now building empires and audiences in a way that feels very new and separate to the existing right wing media, which has historically been very male-dominated, often headed by controversial middle aged men who focus on recruiting young men into the fold and tend to espouse really misogynistic views that aren't particularly appealing to women anywhere on the political spectrum. Was it only a matter of time before we got a femosphere?And lastly, our timelines have been absolutely ablaze this week after Natalee Barnett, founder of the women's only gym, The Girls Spot, went back on her 2021 statement that her gym would be inclusive of trans women. We share our thoughts!We hope you enjoy, as always please do rate, review and remember to follow on your podcast player app :)In Production Partnership with Cue PodcastsBeth's been loving, Everyone In This Room Will Someday Be Dead, Letter LoopRuchira's been loving, Hacks, A Real PainOenone's been loving, I Found A Body, White Lotus Recap PodMillennial Redemption Arc Substack@romulusedits TikTokYoung conservative women build an alternative to the manosphereWhat's Going On With the Pretty Little Thing Rebrand?Influencer's U-turn on decision to set up trans-inclusive gym sparks massive backlash online Hosted on Acast.

In episode 5: Breaking Down the Structure of Your Writing, Brittany and Jeannetta discuss structure with the first chapter of Jane Alison's Meander, Spiral, Explode, “Point, Line and Texture”, as their guide. They discuss Alison's framework for looking at structure, which proposes to look at the sounds and textures of words and sentences and how form follows content.

In the 2010s, Ryan Holiday was the head of marketing for the controversial clothing brand American Apparel, and the sought-after media strategist for people like the womanizing blogger Tucker Max. Then he wrote an exposé called Trust Me, I'm Lying, which lifted the veil on his world of media manipulation.  Now, he is an advocate of the ancient philosophy of stoicism, which he roughly defines as the idea that we do not control what happens but we do control how we respond, and that it's best to respond with four key virtues: courage, wisdom, temperance, and justice.  His series of books on stoic virtues have sold over three million copies worldwide. His latest book, Right Thing, Right Now, is about the necessity of living justly—even when it is hard.  Today: why power corrupts, how ego can destroy you, whether we should remain loyal to people even when they do abhorrent things, the limits of free speech, and how to treat people in our everyday lives.    If you liked what you heard from Honestly, the best way to support us is to go to TheFP.com and become a Free Press subscriber today.

Stars Design Group CEO, Bret Schnitker and CSO, Emily Lane dive into the evolving landscape of Made in America in the apparel industry. They explore the benefits of onshoring, such as local economic growth, job creation, supply chain resilience, and sustainability improvements. However, they also tackle challenges like higher costs, workforce limitations, and infrastructure gaps. With insights from their visit to North Carolina's Parkdale Cotton and other innovation centers, they discuss the role of technology in bridging these gaps. 

When is it sexual empowerment versus sexual exploitation? This is the question Kate Flannery's memoir had me and my friend, Kate, coming back to again and again. With a literary flair, she tells the story of working for and being sucked into the cult-like American Apparel brand. Her anecdotes made us gasp, made us laugh, but mostly evoked compassion and empathy for Kate and how she attempted to navigate the confusing landscape of women's sexual liberation, sexism, and misogyny in the early aughts.Listener discretion advised: this episode contains adult language, discussion about attempted sexual assault/rapeIf you have any comments or questions, please connect with me on Instagram or email babesinbooklandpodcast@gmail.com.

I modevärlden har det under senare år rått lite av en kysk klosterstämning. Men där har man tidigare verkligen inte sparat på krutet när det gäller att använda sig av just sex. Och efter visningarna inför nästa års vårmode i Paris verkar det faktiskt som om sexet är tillbaka. Hur kommer det tas emot den här gången? Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. I början av 1970-talet döpte den brittiska designern Vivienne Westwood sin första butik kort och gott till ”Sex”. En butik där punkmodet började ta fart, ett mode inspirerat av så kallad bondage. Och sedan rullade det på i allt snabbare takt. I början av 2000-talet började man till och med tala om en sorts ”porrifiering” av modet. Inte minst tack vare att då trendskapande fotografer skapade den ena kontroversiella bilden efter den andra.Men efter metoo blev många försiktiga med att spela på några som helst erotiska strängar,. Till och med ordet ”sexy” började betraktas som ofräscht när det gällde marknadsföring. För vem skulle vara sexig, för vem? Och hur? Och vem bestämde det? Istället växte en flora av ord som ”female empowerment” och ”self-expression” fram.Men efter visningarna inför nästa års vårmode i Paris nyligen så löd i alla fall en rubrik: ”sex is back on the table”. För flera stora modemärken som Hermès, Stella McCartney och Balenciaga visade en hel del vågade plagg, jämförelsevis. Det var skira halvt genomskinliga byxor och blusar, extremt lågt skurna jeans – även för killar – och en hel del underkläder i form av BH:ar och strumpeband av spets. Och på tal om just underkläder så re-lanserade märket Victoria's Secret sin stora spektakulära modeshow i tisdags.I veckans program möter vi Billy Andersson, printredaktör på tidningen Resumé, som rapporterat mycket om klädföretaget American Apparel och deras chockerande sexuella bilder. Christian Larson är creative director på underklädesföretaget CDLP – han berättar om hur de gestaltar sexighet idag, framför allt när det gäller män. Jacob Östberg, professor i företagsekonomi på Stockholms universitet, förklarar hur man gör för att ta över och förnya ett varumärke.Veckans gäst är Philip Warkander, universitetslektor i modevetenskap, som diskuterar varifrån de sexuella influenserna kommer idag.

This week, Lindy and Meagan come bearing two important pieces of news. First up, is a long-awaited update on Kevin's nads.

Lindy presents a theory that American Apparel's chokehold on our country in the mid-aughts was merely a Nelson Mandela effect. Where did all those tube tops and ass shorts go?! And meanwhile, Meagan reaches the internet ice wall and is convinced that the bizarre ads she is delivered are nothing more than inscrutable brain bait that must be clicked.And finally, our favorite segment, Whatcha Watchin'!

Put on your flower crowns and don your skinniest jeans and join us at the center of the Millennial universe: Coachella 2007!  Adam & Becca meet the personification of the turn of the century hipster entrepreneur, Dov Charney. Sitting atop a pile of v-neck t-shirts ethically made in the USA, Charney was somewhat of a renegade business oddity on wall-street. But for the 20-something dreamers that clamored for the brand's clothing, he was a captivating revolutionary. Their devotion, along with a bevy of young corporate employees, easily exploited under the guise of “a greater purpose,” allowed American Apparel to rapidly expand and IPO in 2007.

This is the last episode of the season, but we'll be back very soon after a short summer hiatus. We couldn't think of a more perfect guest to end things off with than multi-hyphenate Kamie Crawford. She has quite the CV. She's a producer and creator, the host of MTV's Catfish: The TV Show, Are You The One? *and* Ex on the Beach, a Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model, and the former Miss Teen USA 2010. She also has her very own relationship advice podcast, Relationshi*t. Kamie originally wanted to be a dermatologist, but quickly pivoted to communications after taking biology in college and hating it. she did local red carpet interviews and sent her reel to different news stations. She even moved to New York and modeled while trying to land TV hosting work that never came.  Things changed in 2018 when someone in casting for Catfish reached out to see if she'd be interested in guest hosting with star Nev Schulman. She was a natural and landed a spot as a full-time host. In today's episode of Girlboss Radio, Kamie talks about lying on her job application to land her first job at American Apparel, when to know which career opportunities to say "yes" to, and how being delusional is the reason she got to where she is today.
