Abercrombie Fitch is only for cool and good-looking people!
 

" That's why we hire good-looking people in our stores. 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."

As far as Jeffries is concerned, America's unattractive, overweight or otherwise undesirable teens can shop elsewhere. "In every school there are the cool and popular kids, and then there are the not-so-cool kids," he says. "Candidly, we go after the cool kids. We go after the attractive all-American kid with a great attitude and a lot of friends. A lot of people don't belong [in our clothes], and they can't belong."

I used to work there. They're all a bunch of scumbags.

I'm so good looking I don't need to wear A&F.

god he sounds like a massive doucebag...who probably wasn't all that popular in school

http://www.salon.com/mwt/feature/2006/01/24/jeffries/

he needs to look in a mirror ASAP

Jeffries should tell his clientele to enjoy their good looks and popularity while they can, because in 20 years those nerdy kids that nobody really likes will be setting their wages and throwing wild parties on their private yachts. Muahaha.

oh, look at his pic! This guy is like 60 years old! Trying a bit too hard aren't we??

I love it how the A&F salespeople love to ignore you when you walk in the store.

i buy my boxer shorts there, they have the best boxer shorts hands down. i would never buy anything else though. i get annoyed by their techno music they play so much that i try to run in there and get out asap. some kid in high school got an interview there and the guy when he hired him was saying how he wouldnt hire any fat kids or someone with a disability or anything. i would like to see them get sued.

They already got sued... which ended in a 40 million dollar settlement...

On April 14, 2005, Judge Susan Illston of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California granted final approval to a settlement of the class action lawsuit Gonzalez v. Abercrombie & Fitch. The settlement requires the retail clothing giant to pay $40 million dollars to Latino, African American, Asian American and female applicants and employees who charged the company with discrimination.

The settlement also requires the company to institute a range of policies and programs to promote diversity among its workforce and to prevent discrimination based on race or gender. Abercrombie & Fitch Co. is a clothing retailer marketing to young adults, teenagers and children. It employs over 22,000 employees, most of whom are college-age adults, in over 700 stores throughout the United States.

Fuck Abercrombie, I wear Lucky Brand :)

what the fuck is wrong with the guys face in the picture.. it looks like he got hit in the face with a skillet at a young age.

I don't know, probably plastic surgery...

On page 2 of the article :

"His biggest obsession, though, is realizing his singular vision of idealized all-American youth. He wants desperately to look like his target customer (the casually flawless college kid), and in that pursuit he has aggressively transformed himself from a classically handsome man into a cartoonish physical specimen: dyed hair, perfectly white teeth, golden tan, bulging biceps, wrinkle-free face, and big, Angelina Jolie lips. But while he can't turn back the clock, he can -- and has -- done the next best thing, creating a parallel universe of beauty and exclusivity where his attractions and obsessions have made him millions, shaped modern culture's concepts of gender, masculinity and physical beauty, and made over himself and the world in his image, leaving them both just a little more bizarre than he found them."

when i seen the picture a movie bad guy came to mind but im drawing a blank on who, im thinking roger rabbit villian or something, cant think of who im wondering driving me nuts!

oh oh he looks like that one movie star(i think shes a movie star) thats had to much plastic surgery and looks alot like him, rag mags like the star and stuff put her in articles of worst plastic surgery, damnit now i must find her name >_<

ahh here we go..

I was just getting ready to say that I thought A&F was for chicks and gay guys . . . guess that is confirmed now.

Well, in a way it does make some sense because people who aren't "cool" will want to shop there in order to buy the "lifestyle" of appearing cool... And people who already ARE cool will just feel that everyone is hating on them because they are sooo good looking and cool.

old navy and other prep stores kinda took all of abercrombies business..

not according to the article, ambercrombie is growing a lot.

maybe so, i dont know but the stores we have around here pretty much never have anyone in them

Old Navy has such a weird image. They try to pull off the prep thing but they're cheap as fuck. I get some of their jeans, $30, I like their cuts.

I mean even my dad wears Old Navy.

I heard that the salespeople there will only help you out if you are a 7-10 on the A&F good-looking scale because they only want certain people who fit their ideal image wearing their clothes... If your not hot they won't help you unless you ask for it...

So if you wanna know if you're good looking just go to Abercrombie and see if they offer you any help.. lol

so are you saying you're less than a 7?

fuck abercrombie

I thought it was for gay men and the women that love them...

Ambercrombie and Bitch was the actual first name of the store, but they changed it to gain wider appeal.

exactly.

only fucking faggots wear abercrombie. i thought this was a well known fact.

wonder if he is friends with Tommy

No, but I'm not white. Apparently they only like hiring white people cause they don't hire minorities. Abercrombie and Fitch's ideal look is the "All American Look", which is preppy white people.

jesus - has he had a look in the mirror lately? Looks like his head has been pumped full of air!

who the fuck can fit in those midget clothes anyway..lol

twinks

It really comes down to the employees. Most of the guys who work there have serious self image problems and they were just looking for validation. The gays who work there (which is a lot of them) need constant reassurance of their looks, and ignoring certain people may go along with that. So don't sweat it if they don't shower you with attention.

I -Still think its shocking to publicly admit that they only want good looking and white people to buy their clothes.

Of course a lot of people prefer hiring good looking people but AF discriminated so much and so openly that they actually got sued over it and lost to the tune of 40 mil.

Who dresses this ASSCLOWN:clown

once i will be ignored when i walk into a clothing shop, im gonna get my clothes the rest of my life at that particular shop... i hate sales people who try to help me unasked... Once i ask, ok, but leave me in peace when i dont say shit

they need to fire all their marketing people

what a bunch of idiots

-a

fucking dumbasses :2 cents:

haha what i find amusing is that this guy looks like a complete freak of nature.

Eddie is way too cool to wear this ...

their shit is cool for 15 year olds. if i wasnt so fat, i would buy designer shit. A&F imo is just rich wanna be kids clothes

but good for them for making that statment. im tired of seeing fat girls squeeze their ass into pants that are to small and they look like mushrooms walking around with their sides sticking out

That's cold man, I like a little muffin top...It's like handles when you're doin' her fat, low self esteem ass doggie style.

Just for shits & giggles I went on there site and searched jeans... ok, they're a decent price. Shit, I pay $89 for JCrew "bootcut", so no biggie right? Look at the sizes.. the largest size they go up to is 36, I'm a 34/32 so I wouldn't have a problem but I'll NEVER give them a dime... even before the fuck tard's comment, I NEVER bought anything from them! I thought girls wear "low rise" jeans, lol. Oh, jean sizes

Anyone who isnt RIDICULOUSLY good looking should stay out of the store. After all I am RIDICULOUSLY RIDICULOUSLY good looking.

I wanted to boycott them once, all their XL fit like a XS as if they were made for 12 year olds.. But once I lost 40 lbs. I liked the way thier stuff fit.
