Apparently, American Apparel does judge books by their covers. And hires and fires accordingly.

That's LEGALESE for "current antidiscrimination law doesn't protect against hiring/firing decisions based solely on BEAUTY unless such standards are based on race, sex, disability, religion, national origin or other PROTECTED classes. So... suck our collective dicks, cry babies!"

We do screen, but not for beauty. What we look for is personal style. We carry year round basics that are easy to understand and pretty much sell themselves as basics. But to really showcase the fashionability of our products, we have to rely on the way our in-store employees style themselves with our clothes.
We see applicants who don't have quite what we're looking for in retail but are recommended for modeling all the time. Every new hire contributes to our brand perception and it's very important to the success of the company to take it seriously. Not to say that we have the perfect retail workforce, but it's something we're giving priority to.
