>>>Were it not for the Urban Outfitters Death Camp down at the Naval Yard – a kind of Gitmo for girls who like Goldfrapp — Philebrity would have something like 3,000 less daily obsessive refreshers. So as a service to our incarcerated readers, we present this all-URBN edtn f rmblngs. First up: Anthropologie is opening its first stores in London! The URBN offshoot brand, aimed at frigid women who believe even in adulthood that Jane Austen novels speak directly to them, is already making something of a stink in The Big Smoke. One of the stores is located in the historic Antiquarius building on King’s Road, which is apparently one of those legendary places that gives people convulsions when a big chain store moves into it. Sorry, London. Perhaps you’d be interested in a distressed vintage nightstand? [PBJ]
>>> URBN employees with stock options, you ain’t going nowhere, bub: NasdaqNM: URBN is in the shitter. [MarketIntelligencer]
>>> But fear not: Miraculously, URBN has not lost its edge. The new Urban Outfitters catalog contains enough sideboob to sufficiently rile the armpit hair of one City Paper contributor who’s already stopped going to American Apparel because it made her “feel like a perv.” Damn, we thought the “hates sex/has no style” contigent had already been drummed out of town. Meanwhile, pay no mind that the sideboob idea was most likely lifted wholesale from another brand’s modus operandi: For this, we all know well, is the URBN way. [TheClog]
