Megafash continues to generate profit and revenue even in trying times. Their annualised revenue for 2016 is reported to be S$ 8 million.

By joining the iFashion Group, Megafash will expand the group’s product offering to include lifestyle products. This acquisition, strengthens iFashion’s portfolio and paves the way in securing an IPO.

Megafash’s CEO and Co-Founder, Jiawen Ngeow said, “It’s an exciting time for us at Megafash. The brand has grown significantly in 2016, our revenue grew five times from 2015. Megafash continues to grow as Singapore’s leading lifestyle marketplace. In fact, in December we received as many as 2,000 orders a day. As part of the expansion plans, we are looking to expand our operations overseas and to double our retail outlets in Singapore.”

With the acquisition of Megafash, iFashion marks their expansion into the lifestyle sector, bringing them one step closer to becoming a leading online fashion and lifestyle retailer in Southeast Asia. Moreover, the four brands (Megafash, INVADE, Dressabelle and NOSE) under the iFashion Group works in great synergy.

Dressabelle and Megafash shares common functions and enjoys economies of scale such as logistic services, accounting, marketing functions and preferred rental rates at retail malls. While INVADE, provides opportunities for the brands to secure prime locations for pop-up spaces, flea markets, and permanent retail spaces.

Together with this acquisition, iFashion Group also appoints Dressabelle’s Jeremy Khoo as the new Group CEO. Jeremy will be responsible for driving the company to the next level, building on the foundation and momentum achieved by iFashion Group last 18 months.

“I'm excited to have Megafash joining the growing iFashion Group. The Megafash team performed tremendously well last year. iFashion is growing in strength and talent pool and we're moving towards our goal of becoming Southeast Asia's leading online fashion retailer rapidly. I'm very pleased with the integration of assets and brands within the group,” said Jeremy.

Jeneen Goh, Vice President of Corporate Affairs, iFashion Group said, “Our acquisition of Megafash completes our line-up of brands for our planned IPO.
