- City Chic Collective Limited operates as a multi-channel retailer specializing in plus-size women's apparel, footwear, and accessories, with operations primarily in Australia, New Zealand, and the United States. The company offers its products mainly under the City Chic brand, complemented by a network of retail stores across Australia and New Zealand and e-commerce platforms serving ANZ and the US markets. Founded in 1992 and headquartered in Alexandria, Australia, City Chic Collective is recognized for its customer-led approach catering to fashion-forward curvy women. The company’s core offerings include plus-size women’s clothing, footwear, lingerie, and accessories, marketed through its own retail stores, online websites, third-party marketplaces, and wholesale channels. City Chic Collective has expanded its portfolio through acquisitions such as the US plus-size intimates brand Hips & Curves in 2019 and the UK-based Evans brand's website and wholesale business in 2020. However, it exited the EMEA market in 2023 by selling the Evans brand and shutting down the Navabi European plus-size brand, following the prior acquisition of Navabi in 2021. In 2024, City Chic divested its US-based Avenue brand to FullBeauty Brands, focusing its strategy on core markets. Recent developments include a business transformation marked by a $23 million equity raising in mid-2024 to bolster working capital and fund restructuring efforts, accompanied by cost reduction initiatives exceeding $20 million. City Chic launched its first bridal line in August 2024 and introduced a new store concept in Sydney in 2025 that has improved trading gross margins and increased average selling prices. The company reported a global revenue of $134.7 million for the 2025 financial year, highlighting a 9% increase in trading gross margin dollars and a 14% rise in average selling prices. The company is on track to achieve positive operating cash flow in the 2026 financial year. City Chic Collective serves a customer base that has grown over 32% since 2019, now exceeding 500,000 customers, focused on fashion-conscious plus-size women. The company’s strategic focus remains on driving growth within its core ANZ and US markets while leveraging its robust omni-channel retail model. In summary, City Chic Collective Limited is an ASX-listed retailer specializing in plus-size women's apparel and accessories, with a strong presence in Australia, New Zealand, and the US, actively enhancing profitability and market focus through recent divestments, acquisitions, product line expansions, and retail innovations. It continues to position itself as a leading global destination for curvy women.
