Portraits of fashion technology companies, written while they are still figuring it out
Fashion Innovation Stories is an independent publication written by Sasha Lindqvist, a business journalist who covers startups, accelerators and funding in fashion technology. Each piece is a long-form portrait of a company at a specific moment — a pivot, a fundraise, a product repositioning — drawn from public sources: filings, product pages, job postings, press releases and published statements. No company pays to appear here, and none sees a piece before it is published.
The publication covers the full arc of early-stage fashion technology: founding decisions, accelerator cohorts, funding rounds, go-to-market missteps and the structural reasons some ideas take longer than expected. The goal is a record that is useful to founders, investors and operators who want to understand how these companies actually develop, not how they describe themselves in a deck.
If something in a piece is factually wrong, we want to know. Write to us with the specific claim, the correct information and a source we can check. We will review it and correct the record promptly.
