Going to be in Seoul for 10 days next week and going to get some clothes at American Apparel, as there is no branch in Dubai where I live now. There is a few different branches in Seoul - does anyone know which is the biggest? Would rather go to the largest and get everything in one place....

I think the biggest may be the one in Hongdae, the big one (there is also a small one).

Or perhaps Gangnam, it's easier to find.

The good thing is, the prices are pretty much the same as in everywhere else!

Avoid the one in Coex, it's pretty damn small....quite possibly the smallest location I've seen.

I agree, DO NOT go to the one in Coex, it's hard to find and they have like, 3 items. It's ridiculous, and they even sell other brands in the store. I don't get it.

Pisses me off when I see korean stores do that.

A: it's a sign that your store is failing and you should just give up
B: you're automatically telling me that you're not even really affiliated with the brand you're pushing
C: you're proving that you're untrustworthy if you *are* affiliated with that brand.

The Hongdae one looked small. Anyone have links to the girls who work there posing for semi-softcore pornographic ads?

The one in Myeongdong is pretty good, quite cramped but plenty of selection. Not sure how it compares to the others though.

Failing that, just go to the store to find your size and then in future buy what you want on the website. I used to do that all the time in the UK as there wasn't a shop in my city.

No, there is another one on the big road around the corner from Club FF, it's bigger than the one in Myeong-Dong... it's next to the Krispy Kreme I think.

That's the one I was thinking of. A little far from FF though.

Wow!!! Ciccone!!! I've never heard you sound so... well... like, OMG, likish? It must be the fashion talk. It gets you all worked up, eh? No worries, I love American Apparel, as well. BTW, the band is 'Wolfmother'. From Montreal. Heard of 'em? (should I even ask? I know you have, but they're news to me) The guy from 'Handsome Furs' (whom I worship) is heading the project.

Don't you mean Wolf Parade? Wolfmother is another band.

Yea, the fashion talk puts me in Valley Girl mode! Very Happy

There's one in Bundang, outside Seohyeon Station, exit 5.

Have fun buying your Halloween costume!
