Fashion style goes and out and therefore, it can be seen, do fashion startups. Lyest The high-end fashion marketplace with a 1600 million users, which once had $ 700 million, had earned only $ 154 million in an universal deal. Is the buyer JojoA Japan-based fashion and e-trade business.

Jojo owns a number of fashion brands, including Jojo’s wear, as well as several other JoseTown and Jojosut names.

(But you can get to know the name better for another reason. Its founder Yusaku Maizawa once claimed the title “Most Re -Tweet”, when the platform was still Twitter, when he promised to give it 100 million yen for cash to repatiate it. Mazawa, who was still in Koencent, was Koencent.

Jojo said it would continue to serve as a distinct business in the UK -based list as part of stability. The current List CEO will be with Emma McFeran Company.

In the world of the world of E-commerce, the world is in the moment of uncertainty than the last evaluation of the acquisition-List. The list, especially in three different directions, faced Headwinds.

First, US Customs Highs sell products to US customers with impact on outside small companies in the United States, but raising questions about how global trade will be seen in the years and years in the coming months and years. About one -third of the London -based list is currently from sale in the United States

Second, the list faced extensive competition in online fashion not only from other expert players, but also from Behemoths like Amazon and Temu before it turned into an issue.

Thirdly, technology investors today have a widely indicative indicator of anything and anything with artificial intelligence. Which has put a lot of stress on the organization Not In order to show the tragicles of similar growth, the story of more growth that somehow incorporated AI.

(Lyest and Jojo Memo have earned. This pair “will transform the future of fashion through AI and technology”, they explicitly note in their declaration that this freshing is mentioned again, but it has no specific details, it will mean)))

The deal puts Jojo a foot in the UK, but it gives it an international business. The list said that it has 5 customers in the market, 5% of its business is from the United States, 20% from the UK and 5% from Europe.

The list is leaning on a long tail of fashion brand unification in a marketplace model: it claims to provide 27,000 brand products, including both designers and retailers. The list includes Prakash, Gucci, Botaga Venita, Valentino, Miu Miu; Coach, Michael Corses, Hugo Boss, Selfridge, Harvey Nichols and Harrodes.

List Covid -19 was one of the top winners of the e -commerce boom. When it collected $ 85 million in a round led by loyalty in May 2021, it did it in evaluation of nearly $ 700 million. Other large-scale investors of the company include Axel, Balderton, Molle (formerly Dragger Esprite) and others. The company described the fund as a pre-IPO round at that time. However, only the IPO window slam was closed, during the epidemic, e-commerce companies found that a lot of inflamed profit lost the air quickly because customers returned to their pre-pandemic expenditure habits. (And then the investors left the next big thing, AI.)

And more precisely in fashion e-commerce, the markets were hard for these brands individually and collectively.

A spokesperson explained that the list of 160 million users in the list is “annual unique user”. However, this image has only window shopping as well as active buyers. It is hard to know how successful the converting company has been an important part of the e-commerce model. It was not alone: ​​Hi-end fashion like Ferfeshe also contains other big names in the trade Nogged Covid in the next years.

In December 2021, the company mentioned in the recent financial filing of the House that the total income of the end of March 2021 was £ 50.1 million ($ 64 million). It was basically flat on its revenue from the previous year, which was $ 50 million.

At that time the list remained non -profit, but it was able to cut its damage from $ 23.7 million to $ 510,000 a year ago. (It also posted an operating gain before the $ 443,000 tax))

“This is an exciting moment for the list and as part of the Jojo group as part of our buyers and partners’ fashion ecosystems for the fashion ecosystem,” McPheren said in a statement that McPheren said in a statement.

Now the question will be whether the better economy with Jojo will give the lift the lift to turn it to the lift.
