Nordstrom Acquires Stake in Asos Fashion Brands
Nordstrom said Sunday it has acquired a minority stake in four apparel brands owned by the online U.K. fashion house Asos.
The brands — Topshop, Topman, Miss Selfridge and the activewear label HIIT — target younger consumers in their 20s. Financial terms of the deal weren’t disclosed.
Nordstrom President and Chief Brand Officer Pete Nordstrom said the collaboration could redefine the way a department store operator works with brands. He also said the deal could lead to a wider strategic alliance with Asos.
