Ex-American Apparel CEO Dov Charney is counting on your amnesia for his fashion comeback – The Sydney Morning Herald

Dov Charney refuses to disappear. In a recent interview with Bloomberg, the disgraced CEO of American Apparel, whose famously skeezy behaviour saw him ousted from his business two years ago, unveiled a thriving new venture a wholesale basics company called, you guessed it, Los Angeles Apparel.

“It still is a nail-biter,” says Charney, who has re-hired workers who were fired when American Apparel went bankrupt, tapped into his old supply chain and predicts that sales will top $US20 million [$A25 million] over the next 12 months. “That’s part of the chills and thrills of starting up a business. You’re always on edge, but I love it. The workers are happy. It’s exciting. We want to prove something.”
