3.1 Phillip Lim Rosette Tank Dress $445 from Net-a-porter
Kate Corcoran reports for WWD that Net-a-porter’s revenues keeping going up: almost 75%. After almost seven years as one of the premier online retailers this is more than a bit of good news for the purveyor of luxury goods. Perhaps it will send a message to retailers that haven’t faired as well, like Gap, whose recent showings weren’t as inspiring. The message: stick with what you know. Net-a-porter knows designer style and the Gap is the place for khakis and t-shirts. Not rocket science.– Joanne Molina for Second City Style

Company executives said that for the fiscal year ended Jan. 31, profits before taxes rose 61.5 percent, to 2.1 million pounds, or $4 million, from 1.3 million pounds, or $2.2 million, despite the expense of opening a distribution center in New York in the third quarter last year. Revenues grew even faster, rising 74.6 percent, to 37.2 million pounds, or $72 million, from 21.3 million pounds, or $37 million.
