The Iconic's CEO Patrick Schmidt said that 2018 was its biggest year yet.

“Without a doubt, 2018 has been The Iconic's biggest and best year yet.

“Not only did our customers spent almost a billion seconds shopping with us, we gave them access to over 300 new brands (that's almost one new brand every single day), proudly launched The Iconic kids and introduced or our big and tall range for 'brawn' men.

“We've continued building the most seamless and inspiring shopping experience for our customers with tech innovations such as 'Follow the Brand' and image-based app search, 'Snap to Shop', and who could forget our recent 2018 swim show – our most body positive and inclusive runway show to date.

“This year was truly incredible and I can't thank our team enough for their achievements, but the best is yet to come from The Iconic for our customers – look out 2019, we're coming for you.”
