Catwalk/Sidewalk: Best e-commerce stores for runway looks

Category : Retail theraphy, fashion week

We’re in high season – fashion weeks are taking place around us left right and center:- New York, London, Milan and Paris starts today.

All this buzz of whats hot, whats not, who’s in and who’s not can take a toll on a normal girl.

Best advice: Keep Calm and Carry On.  You dont have to be in the front rows to get first dibs on the runway looks.

Here’s our round up of the best online retailers that will wow you with their off the catwalk selection.


Shopbop -

A brickhouse of ready to wear and some luxury brands – the Lookbooks are MAJOR.

THE PLUS SIDE:

Always has the  most interesting and inspiring newsletters for the fashion hungry – I get it everyday, even on sundays, and I can seriosuly tell you guys that if I could set my iphone to a speacial alram when its an email from Shopbop – I would do it – thats just how excited I get.  They have the Alexander Wang Hobo and the Alexander Wang Suede Coco!

Net-A-Porter -

As you all know is now synonymous with luxury and fashion designers. If there is one e-commerce site that you can trust with your most precious purchases its them, and if you’re yet to order you be so surprised by thier over the top fancy pacakging. You know its like the cherry on the top.

THE PLUS SIDE:

They have an online magazine section to their website that is phenomenal - with spreads like “6 essential work pieces”. Functional and Fierce.

SSENSE -

Talk about Maison Martin Margiela, Viktor + Rolf , Preen …yup they’ve got it.

THE PLUS SIDE:

Their blog is like a fashion art gallery!

Joan Shepp -

Not many people might now about this Philly mainstay but the insiders do, and for a good reason: the physical store and the online store packs a big punch with big names like Ann Demeulemeester, Anne Valerie Hash, Antipast, Aris Geldis, Balenciaga, Christian Louboutin 

THE PLUS SIDE:

When they have a sale its a real freakin sale – yes even online!

SAKS FIFTH AVE -

Let’s not get all “modern” and forgot who was really giivng us the good before the young guns joined the game.

THE PLUS SIDE:

International shipping for  all you international shoppers.

LVMH steps into “the Know” with NOWNESS

Category : fashion news

In an over-communicated world LVMH wants to cut through the clutter and bring you the “good goods”.

They have just recently launched NOWNESS, a website dedicated at introducing the Internet surfer to what they think are the finer things out there: as they put it –

“NOWNESS is an exciting new way to experience luxury lifestyle online, featuring daily content from the most respected and innovative creatives working today.”

The concept seems to be their answer to a brand blog that encompasses not one of their specific brands but the spirit of the group:- luxury, selectivity and exclusivity.  Many people are still buzzing on Twitter about the Rodarte Video or the new instatlaiton of a digital photo-gallery.

For some the website will remain sticky and replace one of the many places people look online for inspiration and fresh news, for others it will just pass under the radar as an attempt by one of the largest international companies to be more intimate and in touch with its consumers, dreamers and brand followers.

Fashion photo-blogger Garance Dore has done it again – after her collabo with Gap last year the French Grande Dame is leaving an imprint everywhere with her  ”fierce” yet simple sketches. This time with glasses maker Krys for their KISS collection.

Krys wanted to reach out to a younger hip audience for its new line and Garance designed shopping bags to be offered with the purchase of a pair of glasses.

Oh Garance – Don’t Stop!

Photos from Sonia Rykiel vs H&M, Paris

Category : fashion collaboration, paris

The long awaited collaboration with Sonia Rykiel and H&M finally hit stores today in Paris.

I hopped on down to the Les Halles H&M and many pieces where gone within 30 minutes. Knit dresses, pink shorts, platform heels and flower headbands were all over the place with as many people fighting to find their sizes.

The knits were full of color and would usually be what I’d go crazy over – except I wasn’t really blown over by any of the designs, and the black dresses were way too basic to get as an investment purchase.
