American Apparel Re-brand: Wear Your Freedom

American Apparel prides itself of being 100% sweatshop free and for creating high-quality clothing, yet their advertising is raunchy, degrading, and often uncomfortable to look at. I wanted to align American Apparel's advertising to match their American, sweatshop free values, so the re-brand for them is WEAR YOUR FREEDOM.

I see a lot of potential with the American Apparel company, but their advertising does not match the quality of their clothes nor the 100% sweatshop free manufacturing they pride themselves on.

Current American Apparel ads are often uncomfortable to look at. Current American Apparel ads are raunchy and overly sexual, NOT sexy.

The new direction for American Apparel, based on the idea that you should wear what you want and what expresses who you are. Don't hold back and just have fun!
