For the period ended April 27, Stitch fix grew its active client count to 3.1 million, a 17% increase year-over-year. “These results reflect our continued execution across three of our growth pillars; expanding relationships with existing clients, attracting new clients, and growing our market opportunities,” said Chief Executive Officer, Katrina Lake.
