Anthropologie promoted Anu Narayanan to president of women’s for apparel, accessories, weddings, and beauty. Since joining Anthropologie in 2018, Narayanan has led its women’s apparel and accessory business.
Holly Thrasher was named chief merchandising officer of apparel and weddings. Thrasher joined Anthropologie in July of 2021 after 18 years at Nordstrom. She has been instrumental on Narayanan’s team overseeing digital merchandising advancement, product evolution and leadership development, which has “contributed greatly to the success of Anthropologie’s apparel business.”
Aaron Mutscheller was hired as president of Anthropologie Home and Terrain, responsible for its home and garden business across all distribution channels. Mutscheller will lead design and buying, production and global sourcing. He brings over two decades of experience in business development, brand strategy, product innovation, and operations in the home retail and interior space and has held leadership positions at Williams Sonoma, Serena & Lily, and, most recently, Nickey Kehoe.
“I am thrilled to announce the appointments of our new leadership as we look to our next chapter of growth across our organization,” said Tricia Smith, global CEO of Anthropologie Group. “These leaders have extensive retail, merchandising and business transformation experience and a deep understanding of the Anthropologie customer and brand. With our loyal community at the heart of every decision we make, I know that Anu, Holly and Aaron will lead the teams to elevate, advance and enhance our ever-evolving merchandising strategies.”
