Fantasy, Function, Status, Anxiety

There four words are what non-branded American Apparel founder Dov Sharney thinks fashion is about. Conde Nast's Portfolio Magazine has a pretty incredible article about his vision, his willy-wonka-esque hyper-sexed behaviour. The article is entitled Barely Legal - click here to read.

Article highlights:
  • uses the word masturbate 5 times (he once masturbated in front of reporter)
  • he has 6 employees living with him, and he has them call him daddy.
  • he is a staunch supporter of illegal immigrant (or un-papered) workers
He grosses me out. He calls others selfish, but he is all about himself.
