you missed "fierce FAMILY" and the age of the model. the only people who care about abercromie and fitch anymore are the people who experienced at it's peak during their formative years who've since aged into those very bodies.
>a corporation reads the market and applies marketing to appeal to many people
You are no better than women complaining about bikini models a decade ago
Pathetic.
However, the idea is right seeing as there's the "plus size" model thing for women, so it's fair.
It shouldn't be the case on either side tho imo
Why not? It accurately reflects the kind of person that exists in America and buts from them. Ain’t nobody buying shit on the catwalk, models are gross usually and most of them are unfrickable.
In early November 2002, I was recruited to stand in the front of their stores specifically for the Christmas season. I was 19. That “modeling” gig lasted until 2005.
Another Anon said accurately says this brand remains positive in the minds of the people it affected during their formative years. I’m approaching 40, and I still wear their clothes. The clothing quality is terrible post 2010 as are the styles from 1997-2003. Tailoring can’t update baggy cargo pants with paint splatter, whiskering and aggressive rips/tears. It’s wild they taped shirt seams with felt. Pants were similarly well constructed. That is garment construction you simply don’t see today.
Despite the outdated styles,1997 to 2012 was peak A&F. You cannot deny that Mike Jefferies had a vision and executed it successfully. While /fit has “fph” threads, A&F had actual stores and ads and look policies specific to alienating fat people. The brand reinforced the All-American male and female: attractive, athletic and overall cool. And the company was pulling in millions in revenue.
Fat people are ubiquitous because it’s easy to be unhealthy and unfit. Presently, we live in a society that elevates joggers, lawlessness, apathy, and doing the bare min to get by.
Abercrombie was the antithesis. The models were, generally, normal guys picked up at college campuses. They were selected not just because they’re handsome, but because they worked to maintain a strong body and cool personality. And you needed a job or some type of good financial standing to purchase a $80 button down shirt and $200 jeans.
i'd let him destroy my pussy if he's over 6'2"

When did Abercrombie stopped being popular?
>When did Abercrombie stopped being popular?
When the last millennials aged out of it, circa 2009
they crashed and burned after the CEO said he doesn't want fat or ugly people to wear their clothes or something weird like that.
Yeah looks gross but I haven’t bought from there since I was 17.
back in the day they were the ‘it’ brand every hot teenager would wear. gotta do something to save their company

This guy is a few weeks of bench away from having peak dad bod.
>not taking advantage of this to become a calvin klein model as a DYEL so you can bang hotties for minimal effort
Abercrombie & Fitch paid Mike Sorrentino TO NOT wear their clothes

They could have at least got a proper bearmode instead of some guy who's just fat with wide shoulders.
