You’re lucky we can stay at our desks to update the blog right now, since American Apparel opened on Briggate just last week! It took a while on 1st April – we’d been wandering nonchalantly past in the hope that it would have opened for months now, then the launch was delayed from 11am to about 2pm (they could hardly hold us back, I tell you) – but it’s a ruddy great addition to Leeds’ shopping scene. We hear that, as Urban Outfitters often does, the sweat-shop free, all American brand will be hosting in-store events with DJs and the like in the coming months. While we couldn’t accept the kind, if a little unexpected, offer of a job when their recruitment people spotted us on Briggate a few days ago, we’ll definitely be stocking up on their leggings, T-shirts and onesies, no problem!
