Trainwreck: The Cult of American Apparel

In the early 2000s, American Apparel emerges as a leading U.S. fashion brand, celebrated for its vibrant casual wear, ethical manufacturing, and bold advertising. Young employees are initially drawn to the company's revolutionary ethos and the mentorship of its charismatic founder, Dov Charney. However, as the brand expands rapidly, the allure fades, revealing a troubling reality. Financial instability due to Charney's erratic leadership and allegations of sexual harassment by female staff surface, exposing a toxic workplace. As the company faces collapse, employees confront the harsh environment fostered by Charney.
