(nsfw) American Apparel matchbook (of course) features boobies.

Yes they're official AA matches, and yes, that's the same model (and same photo shoot) from a nsfw French American Apparel ad from last December. In somewhat related news, American Apparel retail stores are now selling the Hitachi Magic Wand vibrator. Which is not the one pants-optional CEO Dov Charney is holding is this recent beautiful fake ad by the brilliant fake American Apparel ad artist. Thus concludes your American Apparel update for the day.

Probably feeling jealous and challenged by the fake American Apparel ad artist, the pants-optional CEO has ratcheted up the "creativity" in his recent ads. And by "creativity," I of course mean "porn." Two weeks ago, there was the bathing suit ad with porn star Faye Valentine. Now, it's this dick licker on the back cover of the latest issue of Danish art magazine S—a space where Dov apparently places the sleaziest AA ads. Don't know whether or not this coquettish lass is also a porn star, but those hairy legs look like Dov's. To recap, here's American Apparel's most overt ads of the past couple of years: Brazilian porn star Paola Rey masturbating in tights ad; French AA ad gets to the topless point (nsfw); AA's bare ass-thetic; stirrup socks ad features model wearing only stirrup socks; and AA Vice magazine ad shoves hoo-ha in our face.

New American Apparel shoe ads: There will be ass.

(click ads, via)
The pants-optional CEO finally hired an actual pro photographer, Tony Kelly, to shoot a new F/W 2011-12 footwear campaign. (He saved money though on the model fees—no faces.) Gone is the amateur soft porn oeuvre that titillated (nsfw), ass-ilated (nsfw) and pube-ilated (nsfw) the fashion world. Not gone: a touch of sleaziness. But it's a classier look for the perv.
Lately, Lovey Dov has taken his signature ad "concept" in new adventurous directions—like with these watercolor, graphite pencil, and line drawing executions (all nsfw). Thanks to Pete and Stephanie for the tip.
update, via Ryan of AA's marketing dept: "The images on today's post are not part of any American Apparel campaign and we have not and are not running them. Can you please clarify that?"
So, you released them to get some free advertising? You guys must be in worse financial shape than everybody thinks.

American Apparel presents swim trunks to piss yourself in.

Zappos's new naked women ads: gratuitous or not?

(click ads, via Adfreak) The point of the online retailer's new campaign is to point out that they sell more than shoes. Since I've posted a shitload of naked fashion ads over the years, I felt forced to report on these. My take? They don't really bother me (other than the pedestrian idea), probably because I really, really need a vacation. Ad agency: Mullen. Previous nude model fashion ads:
• Daffy's.
• Diesel (nsfw)
• Lanvin (nsfw).
• DSquared (nsfw).
• Tom Ford (nsfw).
• Joe's Jeans (nsfw).
• Suit Supply (very nsfw).
• David Yurman (Kate Moss's ass, nsfw).
• and of course American Apparel the Queen of gratuitous nudity.

American Apparel Ad Watch: Neat Pleats & Teats (nsfw).

(click ad) No faces though, so the pants-optional CEO probably paid out even lower model day rates than usual—the usual being a free sex toy from his dildo humidor. So, AA & TITS (nsfw). Together again (nsfw). You're now up to date with American Apparel's historic, boundary-destroying ad campaign. Creative note: Ending a headline with an ellipsis...the mark of a small mind.

The "edgiest" denim video ever—mass murder, mild necrophilia (nsfw).

(via)
Via Australia. From the press note:
"Jai Films, the production company behind the film, confirmed that TV networks had been approached, but they had declined to run the film because of its strong content. The film is intended for cinema and the internet."
Yes, I'm sure they approached those TV networks earnestly expecting full approval. Ad agency: none.
Jeans companies are of course always and constantly trying to out edgy each other. For example:  Diesel. Wrangler. Calvin Klein. American Apparel (nsfw). Joe's Jeans (nsfw). Meltin' Pot jeans. Jack & Jones jeans (blonde giving a blowjob). Zero Degree Jeans (ass cracks). And the weirdest jeans ads you'll ever see, by Quicksilver.

(nsfw) The Latest from American Apparel's Crack Ad Team.

Meet cheery Steffi. With this sprightly lass, AA continues their edgy trend of conveniently  excluding tops (nsfw) in their riding pants ads. She looks as depressed as American Apparel's sales figures. Synchronicity.

Latest American Apparel not-porn ad features a porn actress.

(click ad for closer look)
(update: read the comments: it looks like this "model" is in fact a porn performer named Faye Valentine who has appeared in such films as Cock Pigs.)
update #2: another anon commenter says this isn't Faye Valentine, just a UCLA student who just happens to look exactly like her.)
Happy 4th weekend, beach/lake/pool goers. This is the latest amateur not-porn ad via the pants-optional Colonel. No, that there high-couture pose is so's potential customers can get the best look possible at the American Apparel nylon tricot suit. Just like this (nsfw) pose was the best option for selling t-shirts. And this topless Lohan look-a-like was the best model choice for selling men's briefs. And putting stirrup socks on an otherwise nude model was the best way to stir up stirrup sock sales. Or showing an extreme close-up of about 1/10 of a thong was the best way to advertise thongs. Or...forget it. Love your t-shirts though, Dov!
Link Haze coming later this afternoon. No posts tomorrow. Back Monday. (scanned from the back of this week's L)

Fashion shot of the week.

(click image, via) This is a photo from an editorial series called "Comforting Hands" by Swedish photographer Karolina Henke. I don't know the what/why of the shoot, but I'm assuming it wasn't for an in-home Senior care brochure. Previous racy fashion photos:
Kate Moss Ass Over Noho (nsfw).
Duncan Quinn: The NoLita Strangler.
Lanvin's skinless topless model (nsfw).
Tom Ford's butt-naked cock-grabber (nsfw).
Zero Degrees ads feature fine ass hairs (nsfw).
Dakota Fanning about to be raped for Marc Jacobs.
Yes, I an purposely leaving American Apparel ads out of this post.

American Apparel forgoes sleazy models, retains boobs/pubes/ass crack (nsfw).

(click ads, left, on the back page of this week's Village Voice, right, from Vice) Well looky here, a monumental, historical shift in the anthropological marvel that it is American Apparel Advertising. The pants-optional CEO appears to be trying to cut costs, without cutting The Dirty.
Wonder how he came up with this new nifty sleazy graphic line drawing idea?
I think the infamous fake AA ad artist needs to legally correspond with Dildo Dov.

American Apparel Ad Watch: men's briefs sold with woman's nipple (slightly nsfw).

(click ad) Here's your latest update from "the world's premier expert on American Apparel porn." Grainy porn, been there done that. Men's brief ad with nip slip, been there done that (same model). OK, you're updated. Related: the pants-optional CEO getting his dick licked through his men's briefs.

Today in Pubes-Vertising (sfw).

(click ad, via) For Blundstone workboots. Talk about your out of left field, disconnected sell. On the plus side, the creatives (yes, all male team) can brag to their buds at the pub that they got pubic hairs in an ad. WOOT. Wonder if it actually is their pubes? My educated guess? Yes. Ad agency: AJF Partnership, Melbourne, Australia.
Previously in Pubes-Vertising:
• American Apparel (nsfw!)
• MTV's Staying Alive (sorta nsfw).

UPDATE: American Apparel model models piece of clothing topless.

(click image for closer look)
At least she got to show her face. Previously in the AA oeuvre: Topless. Topless. Topless. Topless. (starting to detect a definite pattern here) Topless. Topless. Topless w/ Taint. Taint. Cameltoe. Tits Flash (NSFW). Topless & Bottomless (slightly NSFW). Bottomless (NSFW). (Posted strictly to increase page views. Sorry, I'm extra busy with my own shitty ad work today. Ad scanned from the usual spot, the back of the definitive magazine for L train riders, The L)

Happy Valentine's Day from American Apparel (nsfw).

(click ad) From LA Weekly. Somewhat surprisingly, the pants-optional CEO didn't shoot porn star Faye Valentine for the ad.

American Apparel proudly presents their first ever ad with nipple tweaking (nsfw).

(click ad) Landmark moment in the Helvetica-sullying amateur porn experiment known as AA Advertising. Nipples, of course, we've seen by the handful (nsfw). And female-on-female ass grabbing (nsfw).  But this mildly sapphic depiction is a first, I think. If the pants-optional CEO's profits continue to plummet, stay tuned for the first ever twat-diddling execution.

(nsfw) The latest from American Apparel's Crack Ad Team. A new jeans logo! (and tits, obvs)

(click ads) Look at that fancy logo—it's dressed in blue! I don't get the "A" though. No matter, next stop: design hall of fame. And of course, there's happy-faced "Candice." Tops would've distracted from the product, right Mr. pants-optional CEO? Nipples don't though, of course. Topless pants adverts are a new thing at AA, as seen in this pleated pants ad (nsfw) and this riding pants ad (nsfw).

Hey copyranter! Is American Apparel still using topless models in their porny ads? (nsfw)

(click ad)
Yes, concerned reader/masturbator. Yes they are. Meet Eliana. There's a party in her pants. And, after the pants-optional CEO leaves, you're invited. Topless pants ads (nsfw) are the thing lately at AA. That, and bare-assed-ness (nsfw).

(nsfw) American Apparel presents Watercolor Porn!

(click ad) Now that's classy. Kinda what a Monet AA ad would look like. Although the ad is unsigned, the painting is by Boris Lopez (click watercolor gallery), the artist who drew these two underage looking girls (nsfw) used in new AA cotton ads. As previously stated, Lopez's art has appeared in such publications as Hustler's Barely Legal and Tight, so, match made in slutty heaven. Wonder if the pants-optional CEO has the originals hanging in his L.A. factory office? Previously: AA's sleazy line drawing ads (nsfw).

(slightly nsfw) Daffy's resorts to (sigh) AssCrackVertising.

(click ad, scanned from Time Out NY) Once upon a time, a long time ago, Daffy's, via their NYC ad agency DeVito/Verdi, did relatively smart retail ads. (go find them yourself, I'm lazy.) Now, this: a peek of ass crack, the linchpin of low-minded modern fashion advertising. See (all nsfw):
American Apparel. DIESEL. Joe's Jeans. Zero Degree Jeans. Bluefly. And, Kate Moss.
