Mike Jeffries, batshit insane CEO of Abercrombie & Fitch, hates fat people:

>"... That’s why we hire good-looking people in our stores. Because good-looking people attract other good-looking people, and we want to market to cool, good-looking people. We don’t market to anyone other than that,” he said.

>Jeffries also told Salon that he wasn’t bothered by excluding fat people. In fact, he said that not limiting his ideal demographic would make his clothing less desirable.

is he /fa/?

If he doesn't apologise for what he said, that's pretty cool. It won't stop the fatties from buying the shitty clothes though.

once the clothing is released to the marketplace you have no control over who purchases it, so long as they can afford it or borrow the money for it. you could cut so fascistly that only the skinny could fit it, or, you could focus on making beautiful work for the runways and let the retail customer do whatever they want because it ceases to be your property once it's sold.

IF I WAS A DESIGNER I WOULDNT WANT MONEY EITHER!

the clothing is designed to look a specific way. if you can rock it in that specific way than you are the ideal consumer. if you rock it but not in that specific way you are also ideal because your still roking it in bt in ur own way.

if you cant it doesnt matter because you wont be representative of the label anyway/no one will care because ugo and more money for the label to further express itself.

tl;dr it doesn't matter because ultimately is clothing represents itself and projects its own image on the consumer if good, good. if bad, not so good but still good. just more money.

>> No.6113015

I feel like the "fat version" of clothes are like the main platform video games that get a second version for handhelds by some shitty second developer. Why bother? Fatties should go to stores that make clothing exactly for their platform and not just wear shitty (pret-a-)portes.

What are you talking about?

People value different things. Wallmart values lots of money. Rick and Raf also value money because it's a means to something they value so on that basis they need to want it to some level.

But I'm sure the wallmart director will want money much more than Rick or Raf.

This is sort of a convoluted issue but...

tl;dr someone makes a business because they want money. each person wants money for different reasons-->value money differently.

In terms of having a lot of money? I would want to be the wallmart whatever because he has lots of money. In terms of being exceptionally satisfied with your career? I'm sure Raf and Rick have that.

IDK PEOPLE VALUE DIF SHIT N STUFF ID IM QUIT HAPY WER I AM ATM.

That's not how the world works.

I don't know what you're talking about or what a lifestyle brand is either.

I think people value different things and money is a universal means to getting 'things' they value.
Everyone appreciates 'things' to a different extent so the value of money to get these 'things' is only derivative of their appreciation(?)

I don't know where this is going

I'm never going to wear their clothes but I completely support this guy. I can easily find a size 40x30" in jeans at almost every single fucking store here in the U.S, but I can't find my size of 30x34" in stores but only online. 30x34" isn't even my real size. I'm more like a 28 or 29 but they don't make a size that small enough with a 34" length.
