J.Crew Ousts Women's Design Leader, Cuts Corporate Staff

Yesterday fashion retailer J.Crew slashed its corporate staff and ousted its lead women's fashion designer amid a sales slump. The company said it's cutting 175 full-time jobs, including some open positions, with most spots located at its New York City headquarters. J.Crew also announced that it's ousting Tom Mora as head of women's design. He will be replaced by Somsack Sikhounmuong, who was leading design for the company's Madewell brand.
