| 0:00.0 | Olivia Culpo here to tell you all about the launch of the new Abercrombie spring denim collection, |
| 0:05.5 | made the way denim should feel. Their denim has always been a staple in my wardrobe and has a wide range of fits, |
| 0:11.4 | styles, and washes. Every jean is available in both their classic fit and viral curve love. |
| 0:17.5 | Shop in the app, online, and in stores. |
| 0:35.2 | Like, once we took shop class out of high school, we basically sent a real clear message to a whole generation of kids. |
| 0:37.6 | These jobs aren't even worth looking at. |
