Zalando has gathered three banks to advise the German fashion retailer on what may be Europe's biggest float since the dotcom bubble. Zalando's choice has fallen on Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan en Morgan Stanley, but the shoe and fashion store has yet to formally appoint them.

British brands Topshop and Topman will launch on the fast-growing fashion website Zalando. This will happen in September and is part of the brands’ expansion drive, as they will launch in selected European countries, not including the United Kingdom.

Gap and Zalando have today announced a pan-European partnership, which means Gap's clothing and accessories will be available within Europe's largest online fashion website beginning next summer. The partnership will be Gap's first foray into multi-brand retailing in Europe.

Zalando has opened the new Zalando Fashion Insights Centre in Dublin. With this first technology hub outside of Germany, the online fashion retailer is about to create 200 jobs during the next three years. The new base will focus on understanding the habits and patterns of online shoppers to create a personalized platform.

Zalando's curated shopping service, which was previously called Project Z, is now rebranded as Zalon and will officially launch tomorrow. Consumers who visit Zalon.de can fill in some basic information and get help from stylists to get the clothes they are likely to keep and buy. At least, that's what Zalando hopes of course…

Zalando has further increased its revenue. During the first six months of this year, sales increased by 31.5% to reach 1.38 billion euros. Thanks to that, the online fashion retailer forecasts a revenue growth of 28 to 31 percent for the financial year 2015, which is higher than the initial 20 to 25 percent guidance.

Europe is a very complex entity. Similarly, in the area of ecommerce. There are many differences between the nationalities that are spread across the continent. And that's something Zalando, Europe's biggest online fashion retailer, loves to utilize. Now they've shared what they think are the differences between online shoppers in Europe.

German fashion retailer Zalando will start the construction of its fourth fulfillment center in Germany in October. The self-operating logistics center will be 130,000 square meters big and allows the ecommerce company to serve customers in Southern Germany, Switzerland and France even faster.

Zalando wants to become an open fashion platform and eventually even the number one tech company in Europe. That's what co-founder Robert Gentz said this week, answering questions about the future of Europe's biggest online fashion retailer.

Zalando has quietly tested brand advertising at its own platform during the past few months. With a group of several brands, it ran 30 advertising campaigns from external brands on dedicated parts of its own online store and via third party sites.

Zalando saw its revenue increase with 33.6 percent year-on-year, which is more than was expected. The revenue growth was due to a continued focus on customer proposition and reinforced by additional market opportunities. After a strong financial year, Zalando expects its revenue to increase by about 25 percent this year.

Zalando has launched yet another mobile shopping app. With the app Fleek, the German fashion retailer wants to inspire users with fashion items and offer them effortless shopping. Its dream is to offer one of the broadest in-app lifestyle assortments in Europe.

Zalando customers who don't want to take their returns to the post office, can now have them picked up at their home by a courier service for free. The German online fashion retailer has just started this pilot project in Vienna.

Zalando is becoming more and more a fashion platform rather than just an online fashion retailer. The German ecommerce giant has now announced its new service, Fulfillment by Zalando. The company states that its mission, as Zalando Operations, is to become the best fulfillment partner for fashion in Europe.

The sales of German fashion retailer Zalando during the second quarter increased by 25 percent compared to the same period last year. Sales were worth 916.4 million euros during these three months. Adjusted earnings before interest and taxes amounted to 80.9 million euros.
