In The Style is out of time as administration looms
In The Style is on the brink of insolvency less than two years after the then London-listed online fashion retailer was forced into a fire sale to a family office investor.
Sky News has learnt that FTS Recovery is being lined up to act as administrator to the company, which was founded by Adam Frisby in 2013.
The fast-fashion retailer, which has aligned itself with a number of prominent social media influencers, has seen its financial performance deteriorate in recent years.
Its collapse into administration will leave questions hanging over the future of its remaining workforce and its brand and other assets.
One source said that a pre-pack insolvency potentially involving Baaj Capital was one possible outcome from the process.
Mr Frisby returned to the company on at least two occasions before announcing his latest departure last year.
Once valued at more than £100m, In The Style was sold to Baaj Capital for just over £1m in March 2023.
It had floated on London's junior AIM market in 2019.
More recently, Baaj was on the brink of buying discount retail chain The Original Factory Shop, but was trumped by a rival offer from retail investor Modella Capital, Sky News reported on Wednesday.

100,000 electric vehicle charging points to be installed with £381m funding
The cash aims to help the uptake of electric cars among motorists who do not have their own driveways and charging points. The new charging points come on top of 80,000 already installed publicly across the UK, and tens of thousand more installed privately. Transport minister Lilian Greenwood said: 'This Government is powering up the EV revolution by rolling out a charge point every 29 minutes, and our support to roll out over 100,000 local charge points in England shows we're committed to making even more progress. 'We're delivering our Plan for Change by investing over £4 billion to support drivers to make the switch, while backing British car makers through international trade deals – creating jobs, boosting investment and securing our future.' The money comes from the Government's Local Electric Vehicle Infrastructure fund, which helps councils to instal new EV charging points. Meanwhile, in a sign of growing market confidence in EVs, London-based firm Believ has secured £300 million to roll out charging points across the UK.
