Despite all the recession hoo-haa, online fashion retailers have been booming in 2009, with leader of the pack ASOS, making record profits. Whether it is because it never feels as real to buy stuff online, or as one fashion magazine editor suggested, because it seems a little shameful in gloomy times to bound around weighed down by shopping bags, there has never been a better time for fashion retailers to sell their wares online.
