          STORE RE-OPENS 5 WEEKS AFTER THE BUNCEFIELD FUEL DEPOT FIRE

- ASOS.com opens its doors again on Monday 16 January 2006

- Warehouse in Hemel Hempstead now fully operational

- Insurance will cover loss of profits and damage to assets

- Profits for the full year likely to be in line with market expectations

- New Spring / Summer ranges available within days

ASOS is pleased to announce that its online store www.asos.com will re-open on
Monday, 16 January 2006. The warehouse, damaged in the explosion at the
Buncefield Fuel Depot on Sunday 11th December 2005, is now fully operational.

As previously announced, the Board believes that the interruption will not
affect profits for the financial year ended 31 March 2006 as it had
comprehensive insurance to cover loss of profits and damage to its assets. The
results are therefore likely to be in line with market expectations.

Nick Robertson, the Chief Executive, commented:

'Its been a frustrating five weeks for all of us, especially the 19,000
customers whose orders we had to refund in the run up to Christmas - but we're
back now and stronger for the experience. We have a fantastic Spring / Summer
collection and lots of exciting new brands to appeal to our customers.

I am looking forward to the year ahead. We have a great team at ASOS and I would
like to thank them all for their extraordinary efforts over the last five
weeks.'
