Fashion Market Watch: American Apparel 4th Quarter Sales Are Up

The media and our pockets won't let us forget that we are in one of the worst financial crisis of our lifetime. Despite numerous businesses cutting back on employment, and closing stores, there are a mere few that are still booming. Last month we discussed how Gucci is surviving in this economy, post, and it appears American Apparel is in the same league. American Apparel, Inc. has reported a fourth quarter net sales of $145.6 million, a 31% increase for the quarter alone compared to 2007. Their net sales for the year of 2008 were $545.1 million, a 40.8% increase from 2007. It's the survival of the fittest and American Apparel seems to be on top!!!

In these hard times we all are being more responsible when we shop, we want affordable quality, and it appears consumers are turning to American Apparel to find just that. It all makes perfect fashion sense. Amercan Apparel offers affordable quality clothing, and I personally know each piece can be worn more ways then one. It's all about reinventing what you already have!!! Most of their pieces are basics, but a blank canvas is all a Fashionista needs, and it doesn't hurt to also have an array of colors to choose from. You can expect to see an estimated 25 to 30 more American Apparel stores popping up around the country this year and possibly in a city near you.
