Former Abercrombie & Fitch CEO Mike Jeffries was charged with sex trafficking on Tuesday. AdvertisementLong before federal charges hit, there were concerns about former Abercrombie & Fitch CEO Mike Jeffries — and lawsuits that attacked the way he ran his company. Attorneys for Jeffries and Smith told Business Insider in statements that they would respond "in the courthouse." "This is very much a military operation," Jeffries told The Wall Street Journal in 1997. The pilot accused the CEO of enacting similar standards on board as in Abercrombie stores and firing him due to his age.

☆ Remember when Gillian Anderson wore this exposed thong on Oscars night?

When she turned around, her thong was fully visible, rising up from the ultra-low Eduardo Lucero jersey dress. Gillian Anderson's fashion choices for the 2001 Vanity Fair Oscars party have become an iconic early 2000s moment. Anderson told a panel in 2016 that the thong was a last-minute decision, not a planned style choice. But when I put it on, my pubic hairs poked through the dress,” Anderson told the moderator and the audience to raucous laughter. As for the fate of the Eduardo Lucero dress, Anderson donated it to a charity auction (sans thong) to benefit research into the genetic disorder Neurofibromatoses, according to her website.

THE FIRST TIME Racil Chalhoub, 39, a womenswear designer from Beirut, decided to buy men’s clothing, she was standing in a sea of denim at Abercrombie & Fitch in Los Angeles. This was the early aughts—when many women’s jeans were so snug and low-cut that visible thongs were considered a viable accessory. But Ms. Chalhoub craved loose, roomy hip-huggers. “Everything for women was fitted or flared,” she said. Ms. Chalhoub even launched her own women’s tuxedo brand, Racil, in 2015.
