They are not marketing their products to men. It is aimed at teenage girls and homosexuals, not even women.
My wife knows not to bring home anything for myself or my kids with an A&F label on it. That applies to Hollister too.
Even American Eagle Outfitters is slowly drifting to the A&F mode.
Could be, it’s been a while since I’ve seen the movie. I know the theme was written by Henry Mancini.
