After delaying second-quarter filings repeatedly for so long that the stock exchange threatened to delist the company, American Apparel finally turned in second-quarter results! And the numbers went probably the way everyone expected them to go: down. In this critical and practically storied filing, American Apparel also reiterated how fearful they are of completely tanking.

In the second quarter, ending June 30, losses totaled $14.7 million, while sales fell 2.4 percent. Last year in the same period, American Apparel reported an income (ah, memories!) of $4.5 million. For the first six months of the year, losses totaled $57.5 million as opposed to $6.1 million last year. Sales for the last six months, however, are up 1.7 percent.

Operating costs are killing the company, which appointed former Blockbuster CFO Tom Casey acting president last month. Their debt situation is such a mess that after multiple amendments to agreements with multiple creditors to allow them more time to pay back loans or borrow more money from other people to pay back loans, American Apparel still might not be able to meet obligations to all the people they've borrowed from

Kate Moss must have mixed feelings about the launch of her last collection for Topshop. On the one hand, she might be feeling upset because she won’t create any more ranges for the high-street store. On the other hand, she can be really happy to get rid of this job and finally focus her attention on something different. Kate has been working for Topshop for four years and designed 14 collections, majority of which were incredibly successful and flew away from shelves pretty fast. Now, when her era is over, Kate can look back with satisfaction. She has done what she could and even more.
