Is it so wrong to choose to hire the look of people to whom you target? Hire people that look and seem really cool, and people might seem them and say damn, i like their style...i want to look like that. Isn't that essentially the concept that glamour magazines work on?

I think there's a difference between an "image" and the context of the lawsuit.
Someone mentioned earlier something about Hot Topic. Anyone can put on some eyeliner and have that "look" ... but with a place like A+F, you can't just do something like that. Sure you could go to their store and spend thousands of dollars on clothes but you would never quite look like the waif models in the pictures.
At least that's my take on it.
