Net a Porter new designers

NaP is adding new designers for this Spring and there were quite a few familiar names, plus some that remain a mystery. Some new additions:

• Theory is a label that every department store in the US sells. They do nice basics, but hopefully NaP will stock more exciting, simply executed items than I saw in the US because they were pretty boring there. I’m not spending £90 on a jersey top. Celebrity favourite Preen tags along, seen here on Leighton Meester (is everyone up to date with GG? I’m watching it after I write this!)
• Big hitter YSL, previously only patchily available on its own website, joins the NaP party. If only they had done this earlier, it would have made stalking their “address” bag easier for me, which may or may not be a good thing. Established label Etro, which I really liked on Kate Bosworth last year, will also be stocked.
• Young designers Thakoon, Christopher Kane and Kova & T (all they seem to design are leggings) show that NaP is keen to cover all bases. Jason Wu has probably been chosen because of the exposure during the inauguration.
• Victoria Beckham. ?

Net a Porter sale

Or “Ae Fonde Dreame”. Guys, there is a severely amazing sale over at Net-a-Porter, which is great for those with some spending money because just look at this selection of now-discounted to a reasonable price zone stuff:

Funny T-shirts

Sonia Rykiel £51.38

Luella, £44.80

Bags of great awesomeness

Marc Jacobs, £126.70

Miu Miu, £364.20

But wait! Let’s hope Net-a-Porter isn’t going to become part of my new favourite game “Which well-known high street chain will bite the dust next”. All this sale-watching is fun but I can’t wait for the new trends to start seeping through.  I think in line with recession economics and Luella’s S/S 09 look, we should all wear neon pink frilled minis next year. Or else just bag a t-shirt – last year’s Luella fox print t-shirt is one of my most-worn items.
