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!

THE PLUS SIDE:

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