Abercrombie & Fitch has been fighting to retain its relevance with trendier clothes and tamer ads, but back in its heyday it was a go-to destination for teens with its preppy apparel and racy ads.
It also happened to serve as a launchpad for many celebrities' careers.
College Candy dug up some photos of celebrities posing in Abercrombie & Fitch's signature photos, and we picked 15 of our favorites — including Jennifer Lawrence, Taylor Swift, and Channing Tatum.
Check them out:
Karlie Kloss posed for Abercrombie in 2006. Now she's a household name, and she's known for strutting the Victoria's Secret runway.
In 2003 — a few years before her hit "Teardrops on My Guitar" — Taylor Swift gave the appearance that she actually was crying onto her guitar for Abercrombie.
Jennifer Lawrence might have told Graham Norton that she wasn't cut out for modeling — "They wanted natural pictures, so they made us play football on the beach," she said. "The other models played football in a pretty way, but not me. My face was bright red, and I was sweaty with flaring nostrils." — but she looks like she's having fun in this 2006 photo.
