On this episode of Talking Shop I am joined by Zipline CEO and co-founder Melissa Wong. We discuss how Melissa’s 10 years’ of frontline experience informed her approach to building a SaaS company, the recurring operational frustrations that most head offices still underestimate, and why she believes technology should be designed with the store associate as the primary user. We also explore current trends in store execution and how retailers can bridge the gap between corporate strategy and the shop floor.

Kim Kardashian’s Skims brand has reportedly raised $270m in its latest funding round which values the business at $4bn (£3bn), according to the New York Times

The company, owned by Kardashian and business partner Jens Grede, launched four years ago and was last valued at $3.2bn (£2.7bn).

The shapewear retailer reportedly also has plans to expand into physical stores and launch a men’s offering.

Grede revealed in an interview earlier this year that the brand was on track for $750m (£580m) in sales, up from $500m (£386m) in 2022.

Last month, Skims opened its first-ever European pop-up experience at the Corner Shop at Selfridges London.

The Skims residency in The Selfridges Corner Shop was described as “the most conceptual Skims pop-up experience to date”, designed in partnership with the brand’s long-time collaborator, Willo Perron of Perron-Roettinger.

The shop featured an assortment of Skims Swim essentials for the season, including Skims Swim signature cuts in multiple coverage levels. Throughout the month-long pop-up, customers were able to shop new products every week from limited-edition swim collections to the latest seasonal colourways.
