ST. PETERSBURG, FL —

Anita Iodice, the former president of The Company Store division of Hanover Direct, has joined the Home Shopping Network as vp of home fashions, in the merchandising department.

Recent growth of HSN's home category has led the network to divide it into two separate areas — hard lines and home decor. Reporting to Jeff Taraschi, executive vp of merchandising, Iodice will grow the existing brands as well as expand home decor.

"Anita brings a wealth of home decor expertise to HSN and will help grow our business and diversify and expand our breadth of product,'' said Taraschi.

Prior to her position at The Company Store, Iodice also held key merchandising positions at Land's End, Eddie Bauer and Frederick & Nelson.
