Expansion plans are already underway and could see new stores dedicated to the in-house brand.

After a short CEO stint at David Yurman and a longer one at Urban Outfitters, Glen Senk is on the hunt for innovation in retail.

Former Urban Outfitters CEO Took a Pile of Cash When He Left: Glen Senk left Urban Outfitters without collecting his bonus, but he definitely didn't walk away empty-handed. Along with his $942,000 salary, WWD reports that Senk received a "$5,000 bonus, $3,000 in other compensation and $1.6 million in option awards." {WWD subscription required} Franca Sozzani Talks Anorexia and Fashion at Harvard: The editrix talked to Harvard students about the unfortunate role fashion plays in promoting the ideal of extreme thinness, and how it contributes to the anorexia epidemic seen in young women (and men) in several first-world societies.

Senk is very well-respected in the industry, and is credited with much of Urban's success from 2008 on, and his sudden departure from the company does not bode well for Urban's future--nor it's stock price: When news broke about his resignation yesterday, Urban's stock fell $4.15, or 14.1 percent, to $25.26.
