low culture: The New A&F

April 7, 2004

The New A&F

Abercrombie & Fitch has released its Summer catalogue, their first since the execrable National Coalition for the Protection of Children and Families managed to have the magalog shuttered. After the Christmas Issue was pulled, the �Spring Break' issue never even made it to the stores. But in good news for the corporation, it looks like the reinvented, post-boycott A&F catalogue isn't going to ruffle any religious-right feathers. Below, a brief comparison between the two.
