Forever 21 has filed for bankruptcy, casting uncertainty over its 350 stores' futures. While many stores may close, a digital presence might be maintained to compete with rivals like Shein, which may have contributed to Forever 21's decline. The announcement has sparked nostalgia, with staff sharing memories of their favorite purchases. Highlights include sentimental experiences of young adulthood and shopping trips that shaped their teenage years, reflecting on the cultural significance Forever 21 once held in the retail landscape.
I can't remember what I bought that day, but we spent hours circling the racks and thinking about which bodycon dress would finally get us an inch closer to being adults.
I wore those shoes into the absolute ground: school, walking around Parkdale, club, another club, bus, another club, no sleep. Remember when we were all doing business casual at 3 a.m.?
