TOKYO -- Despite an ongoing slump in the apparel sector, Zozo -- operator of clothing retail website Zozotown -- is doing well, with transaction value hitting a new high for the Japanese company.
President Kotaro Sawada, who took over from charismatic founder Yusaku Maezawa, is turning the company into a rock-solid fashion platform. Instead of leaning on charm and hype, he is looking to create a sound corporate culture based on employees who are passionate about clothing.
