American Apparel founder and Chief Executive Officer Dov Charney is a self-described "hustler" and one of fashion's leading innovators. His vision of a vertically integrated, sweatshop-free company was realized in downtown Los Angeles in 1997. Today, the company stands as the country's largest domestic clothing manufacturer. Offering garment workers unprecedented wages and benefits, Charney presided over the fastest retail rollout in American history without sacrificing his penchant for quality and unity within the brand. With approximately 10,000 employees worldwide, he remains integrally related to the daily direction of the company, designing, photographing and even testing many of the clothes himself. Even after taking the company public in late 2007, he's passionately stubborn about knowing the faces of his employees, meeting them in the factory and retail showroom alike.

Combining his socially conscious agenda with shrewd, savvy business acumen, Charney's work has been recognized often for American Apparel's success as well as his commitment to his employees. Ernst & Young named Charney Entrepreneur of the Year in 2004 and Apparel Magazine, the Fashion Industry Guild and the Ad Specialty Industry all separately deemed him "Man of the Year". Charney was included in the Los Angeles Times Magazine's "100 Most Powerful People of Southern California" list and Details Magazine named him in their "Power 50". Following in the footsteps of fashion legends Hugo Boss, Calvin Klein, and Oscar de la Renta, among others, Charney was named Retailer of the Year at the 15th Annual Michael Awards for the Fashion Industry.

Charney attended Tufts University in Massachusetts as well as Choate Rosemary Hall and St. George's School of Montreal.
