| Background: |
After working as a fashion journalist for several years I launched Net-a-porter.com in June 2000 after realizing that I wanted to shop online for designer goods but that the online shop did not exist. With a group of 5 friends and colleagues Net-a-porter was created with modest funds but big dreams and ambitions. Over the last 4 years we have convinced most of the world's most desirable high fashion brands to work with us including Miu Miu, Missoni, Marc Jacobs, Pucci, Jimmy Choo and more. We have been called "the vogue of online shopping" due to our weekly magazine style editorial shopping experience and the company is known for it's express luxury service offering female fashion savvy shoppers worldwide unprecedented access to the seasonal must haves. Today we are over 100 on the team, we have online partnerships with Vogue.com, JimmyChoo.com and Chloe.com; over 1500 new customers each month and turnover has doubled each year since launch. We are very proud to have survived through trying times and look forward to growing rapidly over the next few years. |

Net-a-porter.com is looking forward to growing its current business as more women log online and choose to shop via the internet and we are also looking to expand into multi-media as technology advances and as the general public adopts broadband. |
