Anonymous asked: Fuck, when I was very young, my (conservative) father told me that there was a major popular clothing line that he refused to do business with because he was repulsed by the libertine sexual values they promoted in their ads. I've always kind of wondered exactly which one he was talking about (and I doubt he'd remember if I asked him, not that I want to) but the timeline and details actually line up perfectly for it to be A&F and for him to have specifically been thinking of those Zizek ads.
The Zizek catalog really came after the peak of the “Abercrombie as Leni Riefenstahl-ass teenage eroticism as normie ideal” thing
Hollister was them though, that stretched out the relevance another decade or so, I hear pretty consistently that between the loud music and the perfume and the thick doors their dressing rooms are the best places in a given mall to have sex
