How it happened

Stitch Fix pioneered algorithm-plus-stylist 'fixes' β€” boxes of clothing curated for each subscriber β€” and was a Wall Street darling during the pandemic, its market value peaking around $10B in early 2021.

As shoppers returned to stores, clients shrank, losses grew and a costly Freestyle marketplace pivot stumbled; the stock fell about 93%, leaving it worth roughly $0.7B by late 2025.
