Amid the financial crisis, one victor emerges – Forever 21.
While every other company is stuck in a shit hole, turns out things have never looked better for cheap-chain-store-turned-H&M knockoff- turned-chic-shopping-haven, Forever 21.
At least 15,000 jobs were cut in the first week of November in various companies across America and fashion companies including Escada, Galliano, Just Cavalli, Prada and others are in serious threat of going bankrupt (but might be saved by investors in Dubai, who invest in anything and I am seriously convinced they plan to take over the world. This is why they teach Monopoly to kids - if one person owns the board, they win!!!), there is however, still hope and it’s name is Forever 21.
In high school, you were embarrassed to shop there. Their clothes fell apart and they looked trashy. Now it’s a stylish and affordable brand. It's like how shopping at Target used to be like K-Mart until they completely did an advertising 360 and made Target super cool (K-Mart still sucks).
And while even the great-two-on-every-block-mandatory Starbucks are closing stores, Forever 21 is just beginning its world domination, starting with the plan to open a 100,000-square-foot store in Times Square at the building that Tower Records used to occupy (before the music industry came to an end). So while the nation woes this financial crisis there is but one small beacon of hope – while you cry over your lost wages, you can still look super stylish doing it.
