The company was founded in 1999 where it sold unbranded clothing to stars from TV shows with the idea that ordinary people could end up wearing the clothes they'd seen on TV. From there, people began referring to the company as As Seen On Screen and in 2000, that was what they officially became known as. Now, the clothing giant is used by thousands of customers. The brand has had deals with countless celebrities and influencers, such as
Love Island star Mille Court and even Lewis Capaldi. ASOS also owns Topshop - with the clothes only available exclusively on the website after the high street store went into administration in 2020.
