Should A&F Be Selling Crack?
Parading around butt cleavage ain't no thang in Abercrombie & Fitch's book. It's like totally intentional, actually, so a Virginia Beach store manager ignored incoming customer complaints regarding a few of the posters with plumber's crack on display. Local law enforcement wasn't digging the low rise funk either, so they confiscated the posters and slapped an obscenity charge on the manager.
Fab Gift Guide: All the Young Dudes
I know you're picturing that famous scene in Clueless when the song "All the Young Dudes" comes on and we see a group of sloppy dudes in slow motion walking in their baggy pants, mismatched separates, and backwards baseball caps. That's the look I was going for here — just Fabified. Young dudes will wear what they will, but you can always try to point them in the right direction.
Fab Site: Ruehl.com
Ruehl, Abercrombie & Fitch's lesser-known older sister, has just launched its e-commerce site, Ruehl.com. The store currently specializes in handbags, cologne, and perfume geared for 22 to 35-year-olds, but will expand to include its entire assortment of apparel, jeans, and outerwear for Spring.
The Riley bag, shown second from the left above, which comes in Sienna or Chocolate and retails for $298, is a best-seller.
Yeah, Baby!
100 shirtless men descend on Abercrombie & Fitch. Sound like a dream? It was an Improv Everywhere skit to test how far they could infiltrate the "Shirtless Zone" that is A&F.

Beyoncé Gets Sued Over "Fierce" New Fragrance
Apparently, Abercrombie & Fitch is none too pleased that Beyonce's got a new fragrance, because WWD is reporting that Abercrombie just made a federal complaint against her. It is alleging that the singer's upcoming fragrance would be named after her alter ego, Sasha Fierce, and that the name would infringe on their trademark for Fierce, a cologne. In an odd twist, though, Beyoncé's perfume team is saying they have absolutely no intention of naming the fragrance after Sasha.
Breaking News: Victoria's Secret Is Coming to the UK
Calling all lingerie fans — there's some exciting news on the horizon! Following the successful launch of Banana Republic, Abercrombie & Fitch and Anthropologie in the UK, another store is rumoured to be crossing the Atlantic. Victoria's Secret has already begun to scout for store locations.
Do You Think Abercrombie & Fitch's Quarterly Is Too Racy?
Do you remember A&F's first quarterly from the Fall of 1997? The book was chock full with articles and photographs of young, good-looking, and fit male and female models wearing minimally-logoed Abercrombie & Fitch clothing. The book was incredibly controversial and according to Fashion Week Daily:
It was pulled from US stores in December 2003 after numerous boycotts from religious organizations and women's rights groups alleging its sexually explicit nature, promotion of alcohol abuse, and other cultural concerns.
Are You Tired of Stinky Stores?
The other day, after it was revealed that Abercrombie & Fitch spent more than $3 million on pumping one of their colognes, Fierce, through their stores, many of you wrote in to say how little you loved the scent being wafted through A&F. And now, the New York Post is reporting that a new NYC Hollister store at the corner of Houston and Broadway is being protested by people made miserable by fragrance being pumped from the store out onto the street. A similar situation occurred with a Diane Von Furstenberg store last July, and it seems that instances of people getting angry about, and sick from, the overuse of scent machines just keep getting more frequent.
