"Maybe we can make a profit this year, if not then 2011," new owner Megha Mittal told Frankfurter Allgemeine Sonntagszeitung.

"We are thinking about new products, cosmetics for example. A relaunch of children's fashion is possible and I furthermore dream of a men's line," said the 33 year-old daughter-in-law of Indian billionaire and steel magnate Lakshmi Mittal.

Chief Executive Bruno Saelzer has extensive experience with men's fashion, having served for years as CEO of Hugo Boss (BOSG_p.DE). Mittal added she didn't plan to acquire any more fashion brands after spending the past two years examining 25 European companies including Ferre in Italy.
