That person was actually the CEO of Abercrombie, Mike Jeffries, who I never would support! He has since stepped down from that company. I like to support American Eagle Outfitters because they actually have been a huge advocate of equality and fairness. They provide same-sex partner benefits, and now even transgender benefits for their employees! The previous CEO of American Eagle was also an openly gay man, and none of their CEOs have made statements similar to Mike Jeffries. I totally understand trying to raise awareness towards bad brands and people, but please, I encourage everyone, do as much research as you can so as not to spread misinformation about the wrong people! 🙂
Not to mention that their lingerie line, Aerie, has started using unretouched photos of their models, displaying scars, stretch marks, cellulite, etc. to show these things are totally normal parts of life and don’t make a person any less beautiful!
See, I didn’t know about this, and it’s so true! Please look up these ads, they are gorgeous!!
