Their stores are always PACKED--with customers, not overstock. They stay relevant in the fashion world by shaking up their mix frequently and by doing so they hang on to the young, ever-fickle fashion crowd. An undervalued stock who will rise again.

Have you seen the catalog lately? Their products are UGLY. The emperor's new clothing line only works until someone shouts out, "Your line SUCKS!"

Seriously though, this company is in a race against time. Trends change faster than inventories, plain and simple, which is why companies that position themselves as trendy retailers are bound to flail. Clothing retailers that make no attempt to be cool, such as the Gap, or even LL Bean, or retailers that are less subject to trends, such as men's suit retailers like JOSB are bound to do better. How many 'trendy' stores are in the S&P? Isn't that the benchmark here?
