American Eagle has been the subject of controversy and growing popularity after a series of advertisements featuring actress Sydney Sweeney. The ad in question involved Sweeney in denim for American Eagle, playing on the homophones “jeans” and “genes” that sparked accusations of eugenics.
The ad was part of the company’s “Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans” campaign.

American Eagle released a statement on its social media earlier this month, saying, “‘Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans’ is and always was about the jeans. Her jeans. Her story. We’ll continue to celebrate how everyone wears their AE jeans with confidence, their way. Great jeans look good on everyone.”
