American Apparel has always been on the brink of ridiculousness, and this time, with the help of the soon-to-be released buttless pantyhose, they may have gone over the edge.
The risque company has announced they will be launching their ‘Sheer Luxe Cut-Out Pantyhose’ that skimps on fabric for the buttocks. For a company that promotes comfort, combining a thong and pantyhose seems very unlikely. The line of fashionable and fashion-faux-pas is very fine for this new American Apparel endeavor.
