With $91 million in debt, it's unlikely that the favorite underwear supplier to the City's hipsters will recover.

As founder and CEO of American Apparel, Dov Charney says  "Hipsters are from a certain time period. The stereotype of a hipster is not something people aspire to anymore. Do you want to be a hipster? Nobody wants to be a hipster." 


Too bad Charney couldn't figure that one out $91 million ago.
