The founder of the online fashion retailer My-wardrobe.com is leaving the business to pursue other projects.

Sarah Curran said: “After seven-and-a-half years of launching and building My-wardrobe.com, I have taken the decision to leave the business as both founder and board member.

“I‘m extremely proud of where we have brought my-wardrobe.com – as one of the most respected online retailers – and I wish the team every success for the future.” In June this year she received an MBE for her services to the fashion industry.

Departing Curran stepped down as CEO of the company two years ago but continued as the public face of the brand. She will continue to hold a stake in the business.

Chief executive David Worby said: “The company continues to enjoy tremendous support from both consumers and brands and I look forward to continuing our plans to connect with a global audience.”
