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

LOS ANGELES COUNTY, CALIFORNIA, JUN 30 – Netflix's documentary chronicles Dov Charney's controversial leadership, legal battles, and his ongoing fashion ventures, including Los Angeles Apparel's growth and collaborations with Kanye West's Yeezy brand.

  • 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.
