Overview
Zalando is a German online fashion company founded in Berlin in 2008 by Robert Gentz and David Schneider with backing from Rocket Internet, initially copying the Zappos shoe retail model for Europe. It has grown into the largest fashion platform on the continent, serving customers across more than twenty markets with a mix of wholesale inventory and a partner programme where brands sell directly through its storefront and logistics. The company also sells its fulfilment, marketing and software services to brands as a standalone business, positioning itself as infrastructure for European fashion rather than only a retailer.
