Stitch Fix defines active clients as people who have bought an item directly from its website, called a "fix," in the preceding 52 weeks from the last day of the quarter."While the apparel industry is currently contracting, we expect to take share and drive higher new client sign-ups as the relevance of our model of personalized discovery and convenience grows," the company said in a letter to shareholders.During the , dozens of retailers have filed for bankruptcy, including J.Crew, Brooks Brothers and Francesca's, and thousands of stores have closed.
