In the fast-paced world of fashion e-commerce, success is defined by adaptability, strategic partnerships, and a deep understanding of consumer behavior. IAM Fashion Consulting, under the leadership of Alexander Montchovsky, played a crucial role in scaling Stilago from a niche private shopping club into the first fashion marketplace in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE). Operating across 15 markets, Stilago became a multi-million euro operation featuring over 1,100 global brands.
From Private Shopping Club to Regional Powerhouse
Stilago initially launched as an exclusive private shopping club, offering members access to premium and off-season fashion at competitive prices. The model was effective in capturing early adopters, but to scale sustainably, Stilago needed to expand beyond its flash-sale foundation. This is where IAM Fashion Consulting's expertise came into play.
Through a data-driven growth strategy, Alexander Montchovsky and his team supported Stilago in transitioning from a closed member-based model into an open marketplace, introducing the first-of-its-kind fashion marketplace in the CEE region. This shift allowed greater brand diversity, dynamic pricing strategies, and improved customer experience, ultimately driving long-term scalability.

One of the key factors in Stilago’s success was attracting and onboarding major global brands. IAM Fashion Consulting facilitated partnerships with internationally recognized names, including:
-
Desigual – A renowned Spanish brand known for its bold, artistic designs.
-
Next – A leading UK-based fashion retailer.
-
Otto – One of Europe’s largest e-commerce fashion players.
-
Guess – An iconic American fashion brand with a strong global presence.
-
+ Over 1,100 other fashion labels, ranging from premium to fast fashion.
By securing these partnerships, IAM Fashion Consulting ensured that Stilago offered a compelling mix of brands, appealing to both high-end fashion lovers and budget-conscious shoppers. This, in turn, led to a dramatic increase in customer acquisition, retention, and average order value.
