Fashion was fine at the Emmys but look out for Lizzy Caplan’s train – LA Times
At the German retailer’s first-ever news conference, in a converted industrial building in trendy east Berlin, its three management board members said the start-up launched in a basement just six years ago was now growing up. “Zalando is entering a new phase,” said co-founder David Schneider. “Today we have one of the largest and most sophisticated warehouses across Europe. We could easily double our sales volume and not see such a problem.” Zalando is set to announce in the first half of September the listing of a 15 percent stake that could value the company at about 6 billion euros (4.76 billion pounds) in one of Germany’s biggest tech flotations for years, sources have told Reuters. The Zalando team declined to comment on speculation of an initial public offering (IPO) on Thursday, with board member Ruben Ritter sticking to the standard line that a listing remained an option for the company.
