“Singapore Fashionista Aspires for Wall Street Catwalk!”
Shein’s Secret – A Walk on Wall Street
Shhh…hear the whispers of Wall Street? Apparently, Shein, your go-to site for all things sparkly and monochromatic, has decided to leave the warm embrace of private funding and step into the harsh limelight of public scrutiny. And we guess what? It’s aiming at the right royal ‘murica – yes, the United States to do so.
Till Billions Do Us Part
Earlier this year, Shein, who bagged a swanky $2 billion at a celestial valuation of $66 billion, shivered the financial grapevine. But now they’re saying, “Hold my Beer!” and aiming for a valuation that may kiss the $90 billion mark. Talk about overachiever much!
Next Stop? IPO-ville
As per unnamed, but oh-so-lovable sources, this Singapore-based fast-fashion aficionado is on an IPO-bound express. Business magnates everywhere are secretly practicing raising one eyebrow in surprise while trying to maintain their poker face-ness.
Hot Take
Our hot take? We think Shein is like that contestant in a reality show who hits all the high notes but also carries this dangerous allure of potentially forgetting lyrics while on stage. No doubt, they’ve proven their knack for couture creation – but how they catwalk in the IPO maze – time will make that shade of red or green. Now, if you’re picturing corporate suits trying on sequin jackets in front of mirrors, chuckling “does this make me look too capitalist?”, trust us, you’re not alone.
