ASOS lifted by overseas sales

Online fashion retailer ASOS today reported another bumper quarter after its international businesses boosted revenues by 160%.

ASOS, which targets 16-34 year olds with clothes and accessories based on outfits first worn by celebrities, said sales overall rose by 69% to £104.2m (€118m) in the three months to June, as the growth overseas more than offset a slowdown in the UK.
