Urban Outfitters’ CEO Made $29.9 Million in 2009

So many people who love fashion want to be designers, stylists or editors.

Sure, those jobs are all glamorous. (Sometimes.) But they’re rarely lucrative, at least not compared to careers on the business side of the industry.

Take Urban Outfitters CEO Glen Senk. On Friday it was announced that, while his 2009 base salary was $1 million, Senk also received a $2 million bonus and $26.9 million in company stock. The exec was rewarded because of the company’s 6% increase in sales from 2008 to 2009, as well as its 10% increase in profits. Other well paid CEOs include J.Crew’s Mickey Drexler–who received a $2 million bonus for 2009 on top of a $200,000 salary and $975,000 in stock–and Coach CEO Lew Frankfort, who brought in a $1.2 million salary and $796,000 in stock awards.

And remember, these kinds of salaries aren’t limited to mass retailers. LVMH chief Bernard Arnault is the seventh richest man in the world, after all.

Indeed, maybe an MBA isn’t such a bad idea! Especially when one can apply its teachings to the thing she loves most.


Giles Deacon’s Officially in at Ungaro

Posted: 25 Apr 2010 12:15 PM PDT



Giles Deacon was spotted lunching with a table full of Ungaro executives just last week and Estrella Archs, the Spanish unknown brought on to design with Lindsay Lohan left the company the next day.

This morning, JCReport editor Jason Campbell tweeted:

It’s official Giles Deacon is in at Ungaro.

Giles marks the fifth designer for the troubled house in as many years, following Giambattista Valli, Peter Dundas, Vincent Darre, Esteban Cortazar and then Lindsay and Estrella. Asim Abdullah, Ungaro’s owner, hopes to make the label sustainable (and profitable) by 2011.

We’re sure Giles will do a brilliant job, but it is reassuring to know that he can’t possibly make things worse.
