A statement signed off by the board at the time said: "[This financial year] was a year of realignment and resetting operating practices for In The Style with focus being given to creating robust unit economics on which to trade the business, right sizing of the overhead and developing efficiencies arising from the wider group integration.
They have withheld payments from people who've carried out work for them yet they are continuing business as usual selling collections and even continuing to sell pieces from my own collections that I haven't been paid for and have ignored all my requests to be taken off the website.
Through the shift in the focus of the business from top line sales to relentless obsession on net contribution margin, the business has been able to drive significant margin improvements despite a reduction in toppling sales.".
The actress, 32, has previously worked with the fast fashion brand on a string of collections, including a swimwear collection last year.
In The Style slashed its headcount from 179 to 140 during this timeframe, after taking "significant steps to reduce operational overhead by investing in automation, clear strategic priorities and the removal of duplication of task".
