So tonight I defended American Apparel against a very mislead individual, apparently lost and on the beaten path... Let's not mention names here, I live with this person.

What's so great about American Apparel? Yeah, it's over-priced basics that come in a plathora of shades. From dull grays to adventurous neons... Anywho, let me avoid going crazy expressing my love for American Apparel. The truth is, it's simple. It's not just the same basics you can get anywhere else, it's an overwhelming amount of cuts, variety, style... which force you to find your own niche. It's a blank canvas that enables the most bland individual to spark a newfound creativity within themselves. Fashion versus style. What is it? I see fashion as a constrained, controlled, diluted version of personal style. Style exists in all of us. That's the beauty of it. What's a couture gown without presentation? Minus the hair, the make-up, what is left? An extravagant creation. What's a simple American Apparel dress without presentation? A blank canvas. I think that's what I like so much about American Apparel... it strips down the superficiality that accompanies the world of fashion. Fashion is either in or out. Style isn't. It's always there. Permanent and true, just like the simplicity of American Apparel... the simplicity of being simple, being "you". So dare you ask again? I'd indulge over and over again to invest in expressing myself. I know, a bit set on stone... conflicting with the rules of style, but then again there are no rules...
