    people with lots of money buy it. people that like to save money get the same things from different places for cheaper with a different logo

    in the case of abercrombie, clothes do a much better job than race in telling others about who you are.

    Yea, seriously.. I thought Abercrombie trend died out a long time ago as well. More recently it was Aeropostale, then Lacoste with the kids, but now I'm not sure.

    Oh, and Abercrombie was sued for racial discrimination in hiring practices since they don't hire blacks or coloured people to work in their stores : http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=35860

    Also they had this little incident with the Asian community a few years ago:

    Same here. I've been buying Guess more recently. Their designs are more subtle.

    When I walk through a crowded area and see some blonde haired kid wearing a A&F / Hollister shirt I have a strong urge to punch him right in his smug, stuck up face. What more of a sell-out could you be. Might as well wear a shirt that says "I'm a sucker for overpriced corporate fad-wear and in my desperation to attract a shallow cheerleader I spent 65 dollars on his piece of **** shirt"

    Can someone post that popular internet pic of the guy wearing a pink, popped collar shirt that's too tight, blonde spiked hair, probably has one of those razor tattoos, looks like a prototypical frat dude?
