Online fashion giant Yoox Net-a-Porter (YNAP) has surpassed €1 billion in sales for its first half for the first time ever.
The retailer saw revenues jump 19.5 per cent to €1 billion (£900 million) compared to last year, driven by a 20 per cent organic revenue jump in its second quarter.
Profits also shot up 28.1 per cent to €98 million (£88 million) in the six-month period.
Elsewhere, YNAP saw strong performance in its key markets, with North America rising 17.3 per cent on a constant currency basis and Asia-Pacific seeing a 31.9 per cent jump.
