...jungles and rich culture of an unspoiled and underexplored Indonesian province - should be easy. But just as Aceh recovered from a decades-long civil war and a devastating tsunami, along came the Wilayatul Hisbah (vice and virtue patrol) to enforce Shari'a, or Islamic law. Its officers have raided unisex beauty salons, harassed women without headscarves and publicly caned gamblers and drinkers...
...successful—albeit possibly sleazy—altruism has not come without its prices, though. For example, basic t-shirts, which come in any number of colors, materials, and neck shapes, are sold for an average of $20. Plain socks run around $10, and unisex jeans (that only anorexic 12-year-olds can wear) are upwards of $70. Despite its higher prices, American Apparel’s concept has worked.

The company was started in 1951 by textile designer Armi Ratia, whose husband Viljo owned an oilcloth-printing company that was struggling as a result of postwar shortages. Ratia was determined to set about...
During a season in which color reigns supreme, Jean-Gabriel Causse has taken pigment research to scientific extremes. Causse's Paris-based T-shirt company, Bluebretzel, offers three unisex shapes in "mythic" shades. So if you are obsessed with the raspberry color of Berthillon ice cream (above) or the brown of the Mona Lisa's eyes, he has replicated those colors exactly on fair-trade cotton T shirts with 5% cashmere fibers. Causse, a former advertising executive, has replicated other iconic colors, such as the original rust shade of the Eiffel Tower, the black of Beluga caviar at Caviar Kaspia...
