Talking with a former employee of A&F

By: American Decency Staff

Abercrombie & Fitch is not doing well financially says a former employee.   His view and that of other young people is that A&F’s effort to sexualize their product again via the return of their catalog is a move of desperation. Youth have largely turned their back on A&F.  A&F isn’t cool.  Their clothing isn’t cool.  Youth aren’t interested in having their brand name though Abercrombie & Fitch hard-headedly still wants to think so. ===================== I went through A&F’s newly released catalog for myself this afternoon Here are my impressions as I went through the catalog page by page.  (178 pages). [I only comment on a few pages to give my sense of overview.] An early picture – So-called A&F studio pictures a smiling security guard at the gate with totally nude male and female posing in front of the A&F camera A close up shot of this couple – fully nude Fully nude male Male on male shots Fully nude shots of females with genitalia covered with full breast shots Fully nude couple making out A male sandwiched between two female lovers on him – several pages of this Three females posed together Two females posed together – intimate with kissing and touching Lots of male nudity =============== Why would anyone with a semblance of morality want to give a dime to Abercrombie & Fitch? Why financially empower a company bankrupt in time-honored standards of moral civility  – to place sexual imagery before youth? Do you want your teenager being sexually stirred by erotic imagery? Help us continue to send a strong message of disgust to Abercrombie & Fitch. Sign the boycott petition and circulate it to your mailing list.  Thanks. https://secure4.afo.net/ada/petition.php Our youth are being targeted. Parents are being undermined. A&F knows that many adults are not in favor of Abercrombie & Fitch and avoid it. A&F also knows that kids don't avoid it. Do you want your young person to frequent stores that deal in pornography? I know you don't nor do I! What you can do – 1. Do not shop at Abercrombie and Fitch, or its subsidiary stores, "abercrombie kids" and "Hollister." 2. Return any merchandise you have purchased from them. 3. Let the mall where you shop know that you are disappointed in their tolerance of such immorality in a family marketplace. Consider shopping elsewhere. 4.Tell others about the immoral practices of A&F and encourage them to avoid supporting this evil corporation. 5. Ask your church or school to take a public stance against Abercrombie.
