The Japanese e-commerce firm Zozo will launch Zozovilla, a luxury and designer platform featuring 90 brands including Loewe, Dries van Noten and Thom Browne, on March 18.
The news marks a relaunch of Zozovilla: its previous iteration was introduced in 2010 and later integrated into Zozotown’s main platform. It also signals the company’s ambitions to move into Japan’s luxury space, which has long lacked a homegrown digital leader.
