Abercrombie’s other entity: Hollister

By: American Decency Staff

The following was a portion of an email sent awhile back regarding the manner in which Abercrombie & Fitch was advertising blue jeans.'Naked guy' sells more than just bluejeans "… Just what was so offensive in the Abercrombie window? A black-and-white "glamour" shot of a shirtless, male torso, wearing only unzipped bluejeans with the belt hanging open. The jeans are worn so low as to reveal a good portion of his physique, and the implication about what's going on inside the jeans is clear. See Abercrombie's front door display https://americandecency.org/main.php?f=updates_new/2008/February/02.06a.08 ============================================= Hollisters is a clothing store owned by Abercrombie. The target customers for Hollisters are teens aged fourteen and up. The push is on to eroticize your young man. See for yourself how Hollisters would have young men wear their pants. https://americandecency.org/main.php?f=updates_new/2008/February/02.06a.08 ================================== WHAT CAN YOU DO? (1) PRAY FOR A&F decision makers. (2) If you have recently purchased A&F (Hollisters) clothing, take it back – express your concern – and ask for your money back. (3) Discuss A&F with your youth. Variety of issues surrounding this: a. Christians. Do we identify with Christ and His love and righteousness? Or do we identify with Satan and his works of deception, darkness – tugging at us to identify with flesh, being on the edge, titillating? b. Boycotting. It's a good thing to have convictions. To believe so much in what is good, right, honoring that you make a full-hearted decision not to align with a company and/or product that goes against your conviction – even if others could care less. 4) Please pray that many of us will seek God for greater passion for personal purity and holiness. That God will raise up numbers of us who are indignant over things such as what Abercrombie & Fitch is doing. Pray that many others will take a stand by speaking out directly at their local stores – young and older alike.

The titanic freedoms which we once enjoyed have been cut loose from their Christian restraints and are becoming a force of destruction leading to chaos. And when this happens, there really are very few alternatives. All morality becomes relative, law becomes arbitrary, and society moves toward disintegration. In personal and social life, compassion is swallowed up by self-interest. …â€Â Dr. Francis A. Schaeffer American Decency Association Bill Johnson, President P.O.
