Fast Fashions—Forever 21’s 8TEE4 Hedges Into American Apparel Territory

Forever 21 has been busy launching new lines these days—its plus-size Faith 21, and even more recently, new contemporary line Love 21. Love 21 seemed to get a fair amount of online press, but what intrigued me more was the launch of 8TEE4, a collection of American Apparel-esque basics, including burnout tanks, tees and tunics, itty-bitty acid wash or knit short-shorts, and hoodies. As you can guess, the prices are super low, ranging from $6.80-$16.80. As to quality and fit, I cannot say, but I can tell you that an 8TEE4 tank very similar to an American Apparel tank resting in my drawer this instant is less than half the price.
