This new retail venture allows consumers immediate purchasing power, while the art gallery component celebrates the urban community through photo essays from around the world, and later will serve as a venue for progressive artists to exhibit their work.

The store will carry American Apparel`s three (3) lines: Classic Girl for women, Standard American for men and Classic Baby for infants and children. Recently, American Apparel added fourteen (14) new styles, as well as four (4) new colors and fabrics, including organic cotton, to its line.

American Apparel`s business model represents the new industrial revolution; by leveraging art, technology and design, rather than exploiting cheap labor, the company proves to be more profitable and productive than its offshore competition.
