What Happened to Fast-fashion After Dragons’ Den?

Fast-fashion appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2012, Series 10 Episode 2. The business was a female range of lingerie clothing, swimwear. No deal was made — the Dragons decided not to invest. The company was dissolved in 2015.

The Pitch

Nikki Hesford walked into the Den in 2012 with a female range of lingerie clothing, swimwear. They were asking for £50,000.

Despite their best efforts, the pitch didn’t convince the Dragons to open their wallets.

The Deal

No deal was made. The Dragons weren’t persuaded to invest, and Nikki Hesford left the Den without backing.

What Happened After the Show

Fast-fashion did not survive long-term. The company was dissolved in 2015, only 3 years after the Den appearance.

This is not an unusual outcome. The majority of businesses that appear on Dragons’ Den, deal or no deal, don’t make it in the long run. The show can provide a platform and capital, but it can’t substitute for a sustainable business model.

Is Fast-fashion Still in Business?

No. Fast-fashion is no longer in business. Companies House records show the company has been dissolved.
