Will Paula Schneider shape up American Apparel?
After the recent exit of American Apparel’s much disputed founder and CEO Dov Charney we look with hope to his successor Paula Schneider to shape up the cross-seasonal basics brand.

Schneider is also looking to explore creative collaboration opportunities with artists and designers. More here. /Ada Källgren
