News Roundup—Figleaves.com, Kurt Geiger, ASOS

Figleaves.com chief Julie Reynolds shares with The Independent some of her plans for the lingerie merchant. Among them: winnowing down the number of brands the site offers, launching proprietary labels and expanding its product lines to include childrenswear and beach
accessories.

Upscale shoe retailer Kurt Geiger was acquired from Barclays Private equity in a £95 million management buyout, reports The Telegraph.
