Founded in 2009 by Nitin Passi in Manchester, Missguided became a prominent figure in the ultra-fast fashion movement. It gained cultural significance by leveraging influencer marketing and social media to accelerate trend cycles. Despite its rapid global expansion and high-profile celebrity collaborations, the company faced significant financial challenges. In 2022, it entered administration and was subsequently acquired by Frasers Group, before being sold to the global retailer Shein in 2023.
