Founded in Germany in 2008 by Rocket Internet, Robert Gentz and David Schneider, Zalando has gone on to become a global online fashion powerhouse.
The multibrand site has also ventured into bricks and mortar retail with off-price Zalando stores in its home market of Germany, as well as a Beauty Station store in Berlin, opened in partnership with Estee Lauder.
After a “challenging” 2018 the group announced that in Q4 it had recorded sales up during the quarter by 24.6% to €1.7bn and almost 1bn visits were made to its site in the 12-week period.
Zalando announced in March 2019 that it plans to close its own label business zLabels.
