Founded in L.A. in 2003, hipsters flocked to work within the white-lacquered walls of American Apparel, hawking their rainbow of basics, and looking the other way when their friends swiped a hoodie. Downtown model-wannabe party kids stooped to employment in the hopes of being featured, scantily clad and compromisingly positioned, in their ubiquitous adverts.
