Meet Mr. P


Several years ago when online shopping was not the order of the day and the notable websites were far but few, I stumbled upon net-a-porter.com.
The experience was much like when SJP opened the door to her walk in wardrobe that Big customizes for her in Sex and the City. It was a Wow! moment. Browsing through this luxury retail site is a designer shopping experience! This revolutionary concept, which spawned many of its kind sites, was launched by Natalie Massenet in 2000.
The site brings you the A-Z in women’s wear and accessories, it houses over 200 designer brands, has a fashion editorial and is kind of a force to reckon with.

In 2009, net-a-porter’s discounted counterpart, The Outnet was launched. The venture, with Vogue’s Stephanie Phair at the helm, proved equally successful. Who doesn’t love a good discount especially when its designer!!
With the growing demand for designer duds and when the section of men who’ve become players in the style game has widened, it was only a matter of time before the Net-a-porter team cashed in on being the one stop shop for the dapper dudes…so gentlemen meet Mr. Porter.com.
This new venture houses about 80 designer brands for men and it’s not just a shopping experience that the site offers, it dishes out style advice as well.
You can tell that the site caters to a man of style.. it is sharp, sleek and well designed.
It is a swankier version of the women’s site with better style bites.
From a motorcycle designer to a Maitre D, the site’s ‘Men of the Moment’ feature talks style with “eight inspirational guys” making a mark in their professions. The site has a style essential section, a style glossary….everything a guys needs to know on how to stay stylish!
