Bye-Bye, Beefcake: Abercrombie's Hot Salesclerk Policy Is Over

The changes are the latest for the once high-flying retailer, which pioneered the sexy preppy look and made male models with ridiculously ripped abs a billboard standard. By retiring the “appearance and sense of style” hiring rule that stipulated attractiveness, Abercrombie is scrapping the last of the legacy of former CEO Mike Jeffries, who left in December.
“We’ve put the customer at the center of the business,” said Christos Angelides, president of the company’s Abercrombie brand, who along with Fran Horowitz, the Hollister brand’s head, are among the internal candidates for the CEO job.
