Through last week’s close, the shares had declined 36% this year. The apparel retailer launched an ad blitz in July with the tagline “Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans.” One of the campaign’s videos plays on the same-sounding word “genes” as Sweeney zips up her jeans and intones that “genes are passed down from parents to offspring often determining traits like hair color, personality and even eye color.” “My jeans are blue,” she adds, flashing her blue eyes at the camera.
