I don't know who creates the clothing for Urban but I think right about now they are moving to Siberia. The first shirt has the words depression on it. Depression is a serious issue that many people suffer from many being teenagers and young adults which is Urbans target audience. The second shirt says eat less which from what I can get from it is promoting anorexia. Anorexia is a painful decease that can lead someone to die or be hospitalized and I can't imagine that a grown person who probably went to college would even think of creating this shirt.
Urbans latest controversy has been the bloody Kent State sweatshirt priced at $120. Kent State was the site of a massacre in 1970. The National Guard shot 14 students killing four because of protesting. What is going on with Urban outfitters. After clothing gets designed for a company it has to go through an approval process. Which makes a person wonder where this controversial clothing choices made to get media attention so their brand was not forgotten.
