Meh- at that time iPhones were making better cameras than what most ppl could afford. I hate it too but society has normalized this over time…leaving a lot of the real photographers out there hung out to dry. Foul👎🏼
It's because of the vibe they went for. Also the location. It doesn't look like a shoot it looks like some friend took picture of a pretty girl. That's the vibe they went for I guess
its very normal for brandy. thats kind of the aesthetic they want. its supposed to be rly laid back and casual to appeal to teens. even their shoots today on their website r shot on iphones on the street
fun fact! the brand is owned by a creepy old man who sends clothes to teenage girls and asked for photos of them everyday, if he does not like how the clothes look on they’re body he fires them! they are also not inclusive to sizes (hints the one size fits all). there’s a documentary on it for anyone wondering
I’ve been to brandy melleville only once, the clothes in there fit my body type and they were fine for me but you can tell they are deliberately being exclusive towards big people have everything one size hints that they are trying to point out the ideal size by having everything one size
@@taiyabazaheer9492 1. If anyone needs more clothes, it is not skinny people. It's plus sized folk. 2. It's pretty much well known they dont do this for accesibility or having skinny people in mind out of kindness or anything like that. They create a "us" (skinny, white, blond) and "them" (anything else) mentality in order to control, manipulate and exploit young girls who fit in the profile they want. Theres a very interesting documentary about this brand, its horrible.
@@taiyabazaheer9492I would welcome more size options for skinny people, but that’s unfortunately not what this store does. By only having things in one size, they are not giving you options, they are literally telling you to be one particular size, not any bigger or smaller. It’s a way to marginalise anyone who doesn’t fit the ideal.
im kind of towards the skinnier side, or at least most supposedly "tight tops" in other stores are loose on me, and brandy melville really fixes that problem :)) skinny ppl deserve to have cute clothes too!

@@Val0416 there's no systemic issues towards big backs 😭 lose weight don't be obese. there's plenty of stores for big ppl so why can there be a store for little ppl as well? i hate when yall victimize fat ppl sm where it sounds like yall are talking ab stuff like racism, " systemic issues" seriously ?😭 humans weren't made to be fat it's not healthy. if u don't wanna deal with the " systemic" issues then don't be fat.
i was gonna say not to be a hater but recruiting a 14 year old off of instagram to work for free is Not a good look for brandy….glad she felt it was a good experience but to anyone looking to do the same, negotiate that paycheck!! 👏🏼
i would def do it lol. i guess it’s not like i’m an influencer or have a following, but i did just spend $200 at brandy and i would’ve snapped some pics for them in a heart beat 😂
This whole situation was insanely sketchy for a 14 year old to be in.... they didn't even have a proper camera? REALLY?

Sketchy hellville
LMAO FR THOOOO

You know that that store is body shaming people
doesn’t sound that sketchy to me… if you look at there entire store every picture looks like it was taken on an iphone it’s part of the aesthetic
@@ItsRegiYTwhen do they bodyshame?

Eeeew! 😖
What is the proof behind this?
What’s the documentary?
Yes he takes the photos and keeps them
He talks about it in an interview and has no shame
@@taiyabazaheer9492 there’s a documentary somewhere i think amazon prime
this is the most blatantly exploitative experience and i’m sorry they used your naivety at that age to screw you over like that
what
I LITERALLY REMEMBER THISSS
I thought she was going to wrap it up with “not the brightest moment ”
:/ nope
I used to watch your videos religiously and Brandy Melville always reminded me of you
omg i was obsessed w ur videos back then
I’ve been to brandy melleville only once, the clothes in there fit my body type and they were fine for me but you can tell they are deliberately being exclusive towards big people have everything one size hints that they are trying to point out the ideal size by having everything one size
There are plus size only stores so it's okay to have a store for skinny people only. We need clothes that fit us too.

thats so wilddd! and a great opportunity :))
I loved brandy melville but apparently its not that great. HBO made a documentary about how brandy melville is kind of a cult and really disturbing!!
That’s super shady though 😅 modelling is a job! They should at least pay their models…
exploitation
Yesssss I wanna hear more!!!!
the way i remember this like it happened just yesterday
opportunity… girl did you see the documentary
just mad cuz u can't fit
@@ashlynnb5300 look at this person absolutely dickriding a literal brand
@@ashlynnb5300being okay with being exploited isn’t a flex babes
Wow I’d love to hear more!
dream come true
everything sounds fine except not paying you
I would love to hear more (:
we need a part 2
How come they didn’t pay you!!! Clothing for work doesn’t seem like a fair shake!
i was gonna say not to be a hater but recruiting a 14 year old off of instagram to work for free is Not a good look for brandy….glad she felt it was a good experience but to anyone looking to do the same, negotiate that paycheck!! 👏🏼
Guess the payment is free clothes
i would def do it lol. i guess it’s not like i’m an influencer or have a following, but i did just spend $200 at brandy and i would’ve snapped some pics for them in a heart beat 😂
Because the clothes are cheaper than the paycheck they would’ve given her
I remember this!!
Im sorry you were subjected to such creeps.
Lucky!
Boycott this brand because it is so harmful
Only place where Ik there jeans and pants fit me sorry and they are to cute
I remember watching you back then
What did your parents have to say about all this?
Omg I haven’t seen you in like 4 years probably (on the internet)
Would love to hear more! What an amazing opportunity! 🩷
a company that huge not paying the models??
doesn’t shock me that they would be this exploitative
❤❤
No bc I remember this
lmao that’s cool
Lol I remember this
Hey, I would’ve been totally down to model for some free clothes
I hate that store
so the only point of this is to get praise for photos of yourself that you obsess over because Brandy picking you for these made you feel special
📻
i remember
MY NAME IS BRANDY!
Not the thumbnail
Where were your parents while allthis was taking place? 🧐
slight correction, “just like any other **white, skinny** teenage girl”
stay mad bruv
It's hi😊
i made brandy melville in infinite craft
Part of the problem
She was a kid though :(
I still love brandy lollll
How did you apply? Asking for my daughter
Damn, you haven’t been wearing your retainers huh? 🤔 I can tell.
why would you point that out? that’s rude
