Daniel Kulle, CEO of Forever 21, has stepped down after less than two years in the position, reports WWD. According to an e-mail he sent to colleagues, Kulle said he had resigned the position two weeks ago and plans to take time off “to find out my next move.”

Kulle worked at H&M for 25 years before joining Forever 21 as CEO. Developers Simon Property Group and Brookfield Property Parterns, along with Authentic Brands Group, purchased the fast-fashion brand out of bankruptcy in February 2020 for $81.1 million.

Forever 21 is part of SPARC (Simon Properties Authentic Brands Retail Concepts) Group, which also owns Brooks Brothers, Aeropostale and Eddie Bauer.
