Boohoo.com has acquired the bankrupt company

After Nasty Gal filed for bankruptcy in 2016, we were worried that might mean the end for the iconic fashion company. But it has been revealed that British online shopping giant, Boohoo.com are reportedly close to purchasing the E-commerce platform for $20 million USD.

“I am enormously proud of the tremendous brand value we have built over the years at Nasty Gal, and deeply grateful for the enduring contributions made to the brand by so many of our passionate employees and vendor partners,” the bankrupt company’s CEO, Sheree Waterson has said, already congratulating Boohoo who are set to sign on the dotted line in the next few days.

“I congratulate boohoo.com on their anticipated successful acquisition and am confident that Nasty Gal’s strong legacy will complement their business.”

No word from the corporation’s #GirlBoss founder, Sophia Amoruso yet, however. We’ll keep you posted.
