Luxury fashion startup Farfetch is meeting advisers about an initial public offering in New York as early as the end of next year, according to people familiar with the matter.
Farfetch will appoint advisers in the coming months, the people said, asking not to be named as the details aren’t public. No final decisions have been made, and the company may also hold off on listing until 2018, they said. Farfetch was valued at almost $1.5 billion in its last funding round earlier this year, a person familiar with the matter said at the time.
