The American Apparel store on Manhattan’s Lower East Side revealed its Valentine’s Day lingerie display overnight, complete with a trio of mannequins with prominent pubic hair.
A spokesman for the youth retailer said the window was created to challenge society’s view that pubic hair is dirty and disgusting.
“American Apparel is a company that celebrates natural beauty and this window display continues that celebration,” spokesman Ryan Holiday told Gothamist.com.
“We created it to invite passers-by to explore the idea of what is ‘sexy’ and reconsider their comfort with the natural female form.
“This is the same idea behind banning Photoshop in our advertisements. So far the window has received positive feedback.”
Your say: What do you think about the display? Is it too much, or should more stores start showing women in their natural state?
