It’s safe to say that 2019 was a mega year for ASOS. We worked with some of the freshest talents (like Madison Beer and Swae Lee), collaborated with The Beauty Awards, launched our eco and modest edits... the list goes on (and on). Not to mention the ton of trends that infiltrated our New in, from neon and 90s vibes to extreme heels and mini bags. Want to know more? For the full lowdown on our standout moments of 2019 (and some mind-blowing figures), check out our round-up below...
