Morphine Prince 109,683 Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 Abercrombie & Fitch CEO Mike Jeffries is stepping down from his position effective immediately. While he was basically responsible for turning the retail chain into the hottest teen apparel company out there in the ‘90s, the business has lost some of its luster  although not its distinctive scent  in recent years. Jeffries has held the top job at Abercrombie for more than two decades, taking the store into its heyday, but with fast fashion shops with cheaper, better options such as Forever21, H&M, and Zara dominating the market these days, Jeffries has been designated the man accountable for the retailer losing its cachet with its target market. "It has been an honor to lead this extraordinarily talented group of people," Jeffries said in a statement. "I believe now is the right time for new leadership to take the company forward in the next phase of its development." But despite the 70-year-old’s decline  he was stripped of his role as chairman of the board of directors last year  he still successfully turned A & F into the s-xiest store for every teenager out there. Wearing the store’s logo on statement tees was basically an entry ticket into the coolest club every kid wanted access to (and parents happily handed over their credit cards to give them the golden ticket.)

Guess ugly people aren't buying your clothes now, huh, Mike? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 Well a lot of it probably has to do with the fact that they publicly fat shame, they refuse to make clothes for heavier set people & say they only appeal to cool people Assholes, I'm kinda happy this is happening.
