Where Is Dov Charney Now? An Update on the Former American Apparel CEO

Dov Charney, founder of American Apparel, was ousted as CEO in December 2014 amid allegations of workplace harassment and misconduct.
His firing followed mounting accusations and investigations alleging sexual harassment, misuse of company assets, and verbal abuse, which his attorneys denied.
After failed attempts to reclaim American Apparel through litigation and bankruptcy proceedings, Charney launched Los Angeles Apparel in late 2016, which has since expanded its product lines and geographic reach.
Los Angeles Apparel experienced a major COVID-19 outbreak during the summer of 2020 that infected 375 employees and resulted in four fatalities, leading to a temporary closure of the factory. Several years later, Charney declared bankruptcy for both himself and his vintage clothing store, Arya’s Vintage Closet.
Despite ongoing legal and financial struggles, including dismissed lawsuits, Charney continues to work in garment manufacturing and plans to open a new Los Angeles Apparel store in New York City's SoHo in summer 2025.
