Recently, those women in my office keep on talking about those half-naked muscle guys in a&f, not until today I have my first visit to this shop. While noticing there are still loads of women queuing to take photo with those muscular models, I can hardly imagine how to choose a suitable clothing in such a disco-feel environment. However, the girls work there are all really nice, charming, energetic, fresh and young...

Did any bros visit there in these few days?

the line up to even get into the shop winds around to other side of Aon Building towards where Maxim Bakery is. Ridiculous if you even want to get a glimpse of the girls working at A&F.

if anyone does get a good look, see if they are flown in to help with the grand opening or are they locals?

Oops, if you don't need to take photo with the (male) models, you can easily get inside, at least I did today during lunch hours. All the girls are locals, or perhaps ABC, try talk with them and you will find they are really nice (at least during this first week).

u r talking about A&F in the state?


Recently, here in China, Shenzhen, they open sister company Hollister. The whole fucking shop was dark. You cant even check the clothings properly.

But I must admit those salesgals are fucking hot!!! They are chinese but looks like a mix and speaks fluent English.
Omg!! they are so fuckable. Young and pinkish!!!

Exactly!!! Glad to hear that you have the same feeling.
I am talking about the one just opened in hong kong, in peddar street, central. The girls are so attracting and so hot!

And as the lighting inside the shop is so dark, I can hardly distinguish the shirt I pick is in dark blue or black colour, hence, seek more assistance from those hot salesgirl.

Oh fuck, I didnt know A&F has arrived in Hong Kong.
fuck I need to go check it out.....the sales gals.

But I fucking hate this brand now, you can find everybody wearing fakes on the street.

Many years ago, 8 or 10 yrs, I went to LA for the first time and fell in love with A&F and AE.
IT;s like Giordano or Baleno in the state.
Reasonable price and fits me nicely.....u seen Beckham wearing A&F? Yeah like that...
So I bought dozen of them and bring back HK.
Then the following years, the Brand spark in HK/China and they started making all the fakes.
Fucking unbelievable imitation, looks like real when my friend had one and showed it to me.
This was when all my friends claim mine were also all bought from china.
So, WTF!!!

But talk about those chicks in A&F shop! I can hide behing the drak shop in some corner and jerk peeping at them.

Yup, there are lots of fake A&F in the street, and some people also criticize that it's overpriced. I strongly agree that there's lots of alternate brands with the same budget, but there's absolutely no harm to have a look there, either for clothings or for gals.

Exactly!
For a brand that's so early 2000's, you gotta admit that A&F has done marketing at its best this time round...
And with social networking, you have the public doing the marketing for them too!
I just don't understand the fascination at this point in time... only in HK...
well... perhaps I need to check out the sales chicks there first...!!

I think it is the coy's policy, to hire attractive employees.....fuck em, prejudice against ugly people!!!

Same like GA / Gucci, they hire GAY!!!

Despite the quality or price of this brand, i have my focus on the sales gals only, and i would really like to fxxk them!!!

when A&F first opened in Tokyo in 2009/2010, they had really hot women in the store!

now its Japanese staff (not saying Japanese are not hot) but the previous ones where in skimpy outfits and ass cheeks peeking out!

actually it was A&F's policy (not official, but basically everyone understood) back in the early/mid-00s to discriminate against anyone that didn't fit their profile. (tall, white, athletic).

Only in recent years have they relaxed this policy due to lawsuits and the potential of intl markets.

i remember when my asian friends that got jobs at A&F as sales reps.  this was their experience.

#1 they were incredibly happy to be considered to be part of the "in" crowd.  almost no asians were accepted as workers, and if you were, you had to look like a surfer dude/chick to fit in.

happiness/honeymoon phase - around 2 weeks

#2 as they progressed with work, they realized that they were stuck in the stock room for every shift.  they weren't getting any shifts in the front of the stores selling/help[ing customers.

starting to feel shitty phase - around 4 weeks

#3 after feeling shitty about the job, they ask the manager for shifts that include working the floor.  they get denied because they haven't proved themselves.  (while other newer sales reps get automatically placed on the floors)

starting to feel really shitty about A&F - a couple months

#4 they suck it up for a few more months to get the clothing discounts so they can stock up on fashionable clothing and to say that they're still working at A&F.

still bragging to friends that they work in A&F but we never see them in the stores working...   - few more months

#5 after about half a year, they finally quit and tell their friends how shitty the experience was.


this was basically consistent across all my friends who worked at A&F (except for one, who was tall and athletic, and chinese/hawaiian).

I've got to give it to A&F to still use sex to market their apparel and not get blasted as tacky by mainstream media.

A&F is doing some hardcore advertisement in HK.

I was at TST last Sunday.
They hired a double deck bus and models.
3 of the male  models were half naked showing their filthy tits/nipples and 6 packs.   Envy !!!
Just having the short (red) on.

Female models were so-so.

Apparently, they were inviting passerby to come on board the bus to take them to the A&F shop.
