The American Apparel Spring 2010 look book has just been unveiled and -- no surprise here -- it's filled with imagery that pushes the envelope. Defying the trends being seen in campaigns of many other fashion designers, American Apparel opted for unphotoshopped, models of different sizes and colors wearing little or no makeup.
The gallery above includes a few looks from the American Apparel Spring 2010 collection which seem to take inspiration from different fashions of eras gone by.
