American Eagle Ad Campaign Sparks Plagiarism Controversy | JQJO

American Eagle Outfitters' ad campaign featuring Sydney Sweeney has sparked controversy. President Trump praised the ad, boosting its popularity and American Eagle's stock. However, a veteran creative director alleges the campaign copied his 2009 Hudson Jeans ad featuring Georgia May Jagger. The similarities involve a 'genes'/'jeans' pun and a focus on the model's lineage. While American Eagle hasn't commented, the campaign's engagement has been undeniably successful, regardless of the plagiarism claims.
