Abercrombie and Fitch was, and still is to some, a respected clothing brand. But for one to simply dismiss a selection of people based on their appearance and size is an issue that we feel obligated not to have to deal with, yet here we are doing just that. Abercrombie and Fitch refuses to make jeans larger than size 10 for women, and refuses to manufacture larger clothes simply because they don’t want large people in their stores. Poor ethics on behalf of the clothing brand brought outrage to many around the world when this news was brought to light, and despite the increasing size of the average woman in America, the company refused to increase their clothing sizes, while other brands such as H&M and American Eagle, now offer up to size 16 and 18, respectively. Abercrombie and Fitch also refuse to hire people who they don’t think ’belong’ – simply conveying that they have a certain ’look’ that they want to stick with. This problem is not only a display of bad morals, but also subconsciously ill-encouragement to the workers of A&F, who, after being placed under certain guidelines, are forced to work, and thus believe, that their look is ’the right look’ – The poor morals are merely being passed along.
