National brief: Clothing company makes deal with Pittsburgh girls

Executives of Abercrombie and Fitch agreed to consider a proposal by a group of Pittsburgh girls called Allegheny County Girls as Grantmakers for a line of T-shirts that the girls believe would empower young women rather than demean them, according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.

"I think it went pretty well and I think they took us seriously," said Maya Savage, a 14-year-old student at Pittsburgh High School for the Creative and Performing Arts.

Abercrombie and Fitch pulled several of their "attitude" T-shirts last month after five days of protests that drew national and international media attention. The group said the shirts, with slogans like "Who Needs Brains When You Have These?" were demeaning to women.
