American Apparel Welcomes an Older Model Into Its Ads

American Apparel takes a break from hypersexualizing barely twentysomething hotties in a new campaign touting its Advanced Basics line. Meet Jacky, a new model with long legs and flowing silver locks. We're told she's a senior citizen, but for now, the year of her birth is undisclosed. As American Apparel CEO Dov Charney told Business Insider, "You don't ask a lady her age." Ha! Good one, Dov—always so classy. Consumer reaction has been mainly positive, with most commenters viewing Jacky's debut as a victory for equality and anti-ageism.
