A great post from Kristen Lamb’s view on Abercrombie & Fitch. I haven’t bought any A&F stuff for years. Although I used to like them, I noticed it is not creative. Rather, it recycles all the same style and use the beautiful people for marketing. Indeed, the company brands its reputation and identity in the market very well, but is it ethical?

Thank you for proving my point that ugly comes from the inside. Very brave of you.

Hear, hear, Kristen! I agree wholeheartedly with you, as do most of us here, I’m sure. Keep it up!

I “waste” time on this because people should be more focused on the inner man than the outer; that they wouldn’t be committing suicide from emptiness inside because they buy the lie that clothes make us whole. Serving others and having a higher purpose (like saving abused animals) should be the REAL focus. But maybe teen suicide, alcoholism and drug addiction (all addressed in this post) aren’t important enough issues for you. Children dying because of misguided societal values is something I gladly “waste” my time addressing.

Trust me, there are those of use who like their clothes, not for us but for our kids. And we KNOW they aren’t for us, so I go to Talbots or Anne Taylor or a TJ Maxx for cheaper version…my kid won’t wear Ralph Lauren, not cool to her but to me, Now THATs for the cool people. Cool is an attitude. The more uncool you are, the more you need the attitude that you are cool being uncool. find something important to worry about like abused animals and children, Isreal being wiped off the face of the earth, murders in Sudan, there are a million terrible things happening in the world…why would you waste time on this?

I just launched my blog with a post about A & F and the bigger picture. I think the most important thing that comes from this is the conversations we are having about it…we are really discussing what it means to be excluded…but also the definition of beauty and worth.
