Dov Charney Is A Hero To Immigrants
VBS.TV (Vice magazine's online video channel) has an 8-part series called "Illegal LA" about the illegal immigration issue. The setup is to tell the story through the eyes of several key figures on different sides of the issue—including pervy American Apparel CEO Dov Charney! It raises an interesting point: though Charney is the neurotic head of our nation's most annoying fashion line who enjoys playing with himself in front of reporters, he is also one of the only entrepreneurs in his field with a truly progressive labor policy. Should he be forgiven for the first because of the second? No, but at least he has a mark in his favor on the balance sheet. After the jump, two clips featuring Charney's take on this unjust country of ours; and, as a counterpoint, a new spoof American Apparel ad that graphically reminds you of the evils of spandex. More »

American Apparel Needs Models To Show Their Junk

It was not just an event in honor of gay pride; it included a contest to "win" a chance to "Show Your Stuff" in an American Apparel ad. "Winner chosen @ Stallion after party." Isn't that how it always turns out? Dov Charney continues to find new and innovative ways to trick dudes and girls alike into helping him skeeve out the world. The full flier, with NSFW lime green underwear shot, after the jump. More »

Dov Charney Wins!
Pervy pacing madman and American Apparel CEO Dov Charney was named "Retailer of the Year" at the annual Michael Awards, which are the self-described "Oscars of Fashion." The company was cited for its "progressive business practices and provocative advertisingcampaigns." Like this one! The Michael Awards are a benefit for medical disorders, which is very appropriate.

Dov Charney Pacing Madly As Usual
NYC blogger-about-town Cajun Boy was minding his business on a bench outside of an American Apparel store on the Lower East Side last weekend, when "a man with thick eyeglasses wearing a blue Member's Only jacket, carrying a denim murse, and generally carrying on like a crazy person" started pacing back and forth on the sidewalk, shouting into a headset. The man's erratic behavior had Cajun Boy convinced he was a maniac about to shoot up the store. Until he got a good look and discovered—spoiler alert—that it was just energetic American Apparel CEO Dov Charney, no doubt engaged in important corporate business! A scary, businesslike man. Not spotted: Dov's poor chihuahua. [Cajun Boy In The City]

"Sheer Loopiness" after American Apparel Goes Public
Maybe it's just the effect of repeated, unending exposure, but Dov Charney, the self-described "Jewish hustler" and lech behind American Apparel, seems to get cuter every week. This weekend, the WSJ intoned about the company recently going public: "American Apparel is opening the kimono — and it's not necessarily a pretty sight." A totally fun WSJ video of Dov follows.

Is Dov Charney Neglecting His Chihuahua?
A Los Angeles neighbor of American Apparel hipster-in-charge Dov Charney writes in after seeing our item about Dov's charming front yard "Fuck off" sculpture. Turns out that while he's often seen wandering around talking on the phone and scratching his balls, Dov may be letting his primary occupation, assisting young models, interfere with an equally important obligation: taking care of his poor little chihuahua, named "HedKayce." Dig it! The full email, after the jump. More »

Dov Charney's View
This is what sexually enthusiastic American Apparel CEO Dov Charney sees when he looks out the front door of his (doubtless) multimillion-dollar home in LA. If he feels that way about the city, maybe he should move? Click to enlarge the photo. You'll never see this view in person unless your ass looks good in tights. [Animal NY]

Woody Allen Wants Nothing To Do With Pervy American Apparel
Woody Allen sued Dov Charney's clothing company American Apparel for $10 million for using without permission an image of Allen dressed as a rabbi on billboards in New York and Los Angeles. Clearly, movie director Allen does not want to be associated with chronic inappropriate masturbator and accused sex harasser (and fellow Jew) Charney. Because then, you know, people might think Allen had weird sexual issues. (Click thumb for larger image of the billboard.) [Bloomberg]

American Apparel Model: Dov Charney "Perfectly Harmless"
Now, this is the kind of thing we like to see: in Radar Online, an American Apparel model defends the sticky-but-fun truth about modeling for pervy (yet pleasingly macho) founder Dov Charney. "We were more than five hours late to this shoot at Dov's loft in Manhattan because I could not stop puking up the entire bottle of wine I downed the night before... although when I glimpse my protruding ribs on the back of L.A. Weekly weeks later, I'm secretly thankful for having nothing left in my stomach that day." Seriously, she continues, he's actually a standup guy, a real mensch (despite the pending sexual harassment lawsuits.) More »

Dov Charney And Evil Jew High Priest Caiaphas: Seperated At Birth?
From the mailbag:
I had an epiphany last night that I realized only gawker could truly appreciate. I finally figured out why I find Dov Charney sort of inappropriately sexy: because I was watching the 1973 film of _Jesus Christ Superstar_ and realized that he bears a strong resemblance to evil Jewish high priest Caiaphas! And because, watching that movie as a small Catholic girl, I felt naughty feelings for the shirtless sweaty bearded evil Jewish high priests with weird hats and S&M-style chest-strap arrangements. Sexy evil Jews, both.
Wow, it feels good to confess that!

Why Was Dov Charney Expelled From Choate?
The fawning description of American Apparel founder and noted perv Dov Charney's "meteoric success" in Choate's alumni newsletter perplexed at least oneThe strangest part of Choate's inclusion of Dov in the alumni mag is that Choate expelled Dov. I won't say what he did, but it was really gross and disturbing. I wonder if he'll be at the 20th reunion in May. We hadn't expected him because he was expelled...Would any other members of the class of '87 would like to fill in the blanks? Please? Because probably whatever we're imagining is worse than what actually happened, and we're imagining it so vividly.
Update:"He pooped in his cereal to frame another kid for doing it." More »

American Apparel Was Born At Choate
American Apparel founder Dov Charney is perhaps best known for two things: masturbating on his employees and being a hugely successful entrepreneur. The alumni newsletter of the fancy boarding school that he attended for one year would like for you to focus exclusively on the latter thing!The meteoric success of Dov Charney, founder and CEO of American Apparel, is worthy of a Broadway musical. In fact, his unbridled enthusiasm and "can-do" attitude is remarkably reminiscent of Finch, the impish window washer in How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying. Finch, who has front-office fever, aspires to work his way up to head of the company, and does just that.While the Choate Rosemary Hall alumni bulletin does not go on to mention the other ways that Charney likes to work his way up to the head, it does reveal a shocking truth about the nascence of his business.

The Today show, always a dilligent two or three months behind, featured a segment this morning on American Apparel CEO Dov Charney and his "provocative" advertising featuring sweaty young woman resting spread-eagled on cheap futons while sporting 100% cotton leotards. Charney, who has been known to have (maybe) questionable relationships with his employees, has faced three lawsuits from former staffers alleging inappropriate behavior (two have since been dropped). In his glockenspiel voice, Charney explains, "I think consensual loving relationships are permissable in our society and should not be controlled in any way." That is to say, the long arm of the law ain't going to keep the Semitic stud from prancing around in his panties.
