  • 22/02/2021 Asos Launches Expanded Topshop & Topman Range
    ASOS LAUNCHES EXPANDED TOPSHOP & TOPMAN RANGE WITH TARGETED CUSTOMER AWARENESS CAMPAIGN LONDON, 22nd February 2021: ASOS, one of the world’s leading online fashion retailers, has today launched a multi-million-pound campaign targeted at Topshop and Topman customers, letting them know that they can shop their favourite brands on ASOS following their acquisition at the start of the month. The social-led campaign will run across YouTube, TikTok, Snapchat, Facebook and Instagram for two weeks from today and is targeted at driving awareness among customers in the UK, US and Germany. It coincides with the first major drops of new product from the brands on ASOS since the acquisition and marks the first moment that customers will be able to access a wider range of items on the ASOS platform. Available product has already doubled since early February, with plans in place to double it again over the next few weeks. José Antonio Ramos, Chief Commercial Officer at ASOS, said: “Topshop and Topman were well-established, strong-performing brands on ASOS prior to the acquisition, and we know our customers loved them just as much as us. Their integration with ASOS is going well, and our long-term plans to revitalise the brands and inject new life into them will translate into more new, exciting and fashion-led products launching in the months ahead.” Alongside activations and new customer discount codes in the UK and Germany, ASOS will be running 25%-off promotions for each of the brands across Europe, Australia and the US today and Tuesday, as a way of welcoming new and returning customers and inviting them to reexperience the brands.

  • Nordstrom and ASOS: a Game-Changing Joint-Venture
    Nordstrom and ASOS: A Game-Changing Joint-Venture July 12, 2021 We're excited to announce a new joint venture with ASOS, an online retailer for fashion-loving 20-somethings around the world with a purpose to give its customers the confidence to be whoever they want to be. What the venture entails: We're acquiring a minority interest in ASOS Holdings, which holds the Topshop, Topman, Miss Selfridge and HIIT brands to help drive the growth of these brands and sit alongside a new wider strategic partnership. ASOS will retain operational and creative control of Topshop, Topman, Miss Selfridge and HIIT brands. A shared ownership model with a Nordstrom seat on the ASOS Holdings board will ensure close collaboration between us and ASOS, driving a stronger future for the iconic Topshop, Topman, Miss Selfridge and HIIT brands worldwide. We will now have the exclusive multi-channel retail rights for Topshop and Topman in all of North America, including Canada and own a minority stake globally. We will also become the only brick-and-mortar presence for these brands worldwide. Why this is a big deal: President and Chief Brand Officer Pete Nordstrom said it best, "We could not have found a better partner in ASOS, the world leader in fashion for the 20-something customer, and are thrilled to have the opportunity to work with them to reimagine the wholesale/retail partnership. Bringing the ASOS brands, including Topshop and Topman, to our customers allows us to create newness and excitement and offer more relevant products to this dynamic customer segment so we can continue to deliver on our commitment to help them feel good and look their best." This investment will help drive the growth of these brands globally, setting the stage for us and ASOS to sit alongside a new wider strategic partnership.

  • Trading Statement for the Four Months Ended 30 June 2021
    15 July 2021 ASOS plc (“the Company”) Trading Statement for the four months ended 30 June 2021 ASOS delivers another strong trading performance against backdrop of increased volatility ASOS today announces trading for the four months to 30 June 2021 (“P3”). Revenue growth in the period was strong, against a backdrop of continued restrictions on consumers, volatile demand and increased global supply chain pressures. This performance reflects continued progress against our strategic priorities and strong growth in our customer base. Trading in the last three weeks of the period was more muted, as continued COVID uncertainty and inclement weather, particularly in the UK, impacted market demand. We anticipate a measure of volatility to continue in the near term, given the rapidly evolving COVID situation worldwide. As a result, we expect our underlying P4 growth rate to be broadly in line with the prior year comparable period. We expect overall full year adjusted PBT to be in line with our expectations. The global opportunity for ASOS to grow in our targeted markets is greater than ever. We are continuing to confidently invest across our unique ASOS Brands, our ASOS Platform and our ASOS Experience, powered by our ASOSers, technology and global warehousing capabilities.

  • US Department Store Nordstrom Invests in ASOS Brands
    US department store Nordstrom invests in ASOS brands US retailer Nordstrom has bought a minority stake in four brands owned by online fashion giant ASOS, including Topshop and Miss Selfridge, as it seeks to win back younger customers who are increasingly shunning malls and shopping centres. ASOS, the London-based company, acquired the brands, which also include Topman and HIIT, out of bankruptcy this year from Sir Philip Green’s Arcadia Group for £330m. Now, the new deal will see ASOS stocking its brands in Nordstrom’s 350 shops across the US, while the retailer will allow ASOS shoppers to collect and send back products at its stores.

Advertisement Mr Beighton said the deal would offer ASOS the chance to reach “even more 20-somethings in North America”, a sentiment echoed by a senior Nordstrom executive. “We could not have found a better partner in ASOS, the world leader in fashion for the 20-something customer,” said Pete Nordstrom, president of Nordstrom.

  • Inditex, ASOS and M&S Lead Transition to Responsible Viscose, While
    Embargoed until 00:01 GMT on Thursday 26th July Inditex, ASOS and M&S lead transition to responsible viscose, while luxury and low-cost brands continue to play dirty • Report reveals progress towards cleaner production of viscose in fashion industry • Shoppers trust luxury brands over cheaper alternatives for environmental policies, according to new research • But luxury brands including Prada and Chanel sit alongside low-cost retailers Asda, Lidl and Missguided in continuing to ignore major sustainability issue Faced with evidence of severe environmental harm at textiles factories, the global fashion industry has made mixed progress towards cleaning up viscose production. A new report from the Changing Markets Foundation, based on over a year’s worth of investigations and research, finds that despite bold leadership from some brands, a large part of the industry has still not signed up to cleaner production. Luxury brands including Gucci, Prada and Chanel sit alongside low-cost retailers, such as Asda, Lidl and online brands Boohoo and Missguided with a complete lack of engagement on a critical sustainability issue. This may come as a shock to UK shoppers, 30% of whom consider luxury brands to be sustainable, compared to only 13% for low-cost brands, according to new research.* The research reveals that sustainability is an important consideration when it comes to fashion. 60% of shoppers would stop buying clothes from a fashion brand if they found out that they were using materials that could damage the environment or impact communities. Viscose is the third most commonly used textile fibre in the world and has the potential to be a sustainable fibre.
