Britain’s Peter Ruis, the former chief executive officer of high-street clothing chain Jigsaw, has been named managing director of Anthropologie International as part of a company reorganization.

Anthropologie and Urban Outfitters are adding appliances from NuMe.

Two insiders were named to cover responsibilities being vacated by McCreight at Anthropologie.

The ceo said Urban is showing some positive momentum after a year of shrinking sales and profits.

The retailer said second-quarter comparable sales so far aren’t looking up.

A selection of its best sellers will be in five Anthropologie doors and online.

The three styles will be sold at Anthropolgie next month.

The Urban Outfitters Inc.-owned brand is said to be considering stand-alone beauty stores.

Retailer has diversified with restaurants.

The brand developed by Stark Waxing Studio owner Paz Stark seeks to produce uncomplicated beauty solutions.

The label has secured retail partnerships with Macy’s, Antropologie and Saks Fifth Avenue.

The herb-driven skin-care brand has launched on Anthropologie’s web site with seven products priced from $24 to $96.

Urban Outfitters chief executive officer Frank Conforti told investors that the namesake brand’s performance is being offset by a deceleration at Anthropologie.

The Urban Outfitters Inc.-owned retailer is introducing the category online before launching in-store sections in the fall.

The Montreal-based intimate apparel brand, which launched in 1988, is focused on providing newness along with core products and growing out its distribution within hotels and spas.
