Trainwreck: The Cult of American Apparel OTT Release Date - Hold on to your seats, fashion watchers and true-story junkies, one of the most shocking stories in American fashion history is getting the Netflix treatment. Trainwreck: The Cult of American Apparel, a thrilling new documentary directed by Sally Rose Griffiths, is set to drop on Netflix on July 1, 2025, and it's going to make you look at your old American Apparel hoodie very differently.

A bright brand hiding a dark truth

Back in the early 2000s, American Apparel was everywhere with bold ads, bright basics, and that air of cool rebellion. It was a movement. Young people wanted to work there, shop there, be there. And at the centre of it all? Dov Charney, the brand’s loud, charismatic, and often controversial founder. But what looked like a dream turned into a nightmare.

This documentary pulls back the curtain on what really happened behind the scenes from the colourful chaos of the office floors to the dark allegations that would eventually bring it all crashing down. Charney’s empire, built on sweatshop-free pride and edgy marketing, started to rot from within.

Toxic culture or cult?

Trainwreck: The Cult of American Apparel is a human story of young employees swept up in a whirlwind, thinking they were part of something big, only to realise they were part of something dangerous. The film gives voice to former staffers who once believed in the mission but found themselves caught in a toxic environment, with their professional dreams slowly unravelling. 

Produced by RAW and BBH, Trainwreck: The Cult of American Apparel’s executive producers team includes Sheun Adelasoye De Nicola, Alexander Marengo, Tim Wardle (Raw); Casey Feldman, Erica Roberts, William Swann (BBH). Charney, who denies all allegations, has never been found guilty of any crimes, with lawsuits against him either settled or resolved behind closed doors.
