Brace yourself people… it’s happening! Net-a-porter.com and mrporter.com will be the first ever online retailers of Tom Ford ready-to wear.
It’s the sort of breaking fashion news that dreams are made of – Tom Ford is exclusively partnering up with net-a-porter.com, the world’s premier online luxury fashion destination for women, and mrporter.com, the award-winning global retail destination for men’s style.
An edited edition of Tom Ford’s autumn/winter 2015 ready-to-wear collection, including leather military jackets, patchwork maxi skirts, evening column gowns, embroidered dresses, must-have accessories and fragrances, will be available on net-a-porter.com from July.
Similarly, mrporter.com will be offering an edited range of the brand’s elevated and sophisticated ready-to-wear line including tailoring, formalwear, luxury casualwear, shoes, eyewear, accessories and grooming collections.
“I couldn’t be happier to sell the Tom Ford womenswear, menswear, accessories, Tom Ford Beauty and Tom Ford Eyewear Collections on net-a-porter.com and mrporter.com to expand our ever-increasing sales network,” said Tom Ford. “I have the utmost respect for Natalie Massenet and both net-a-porter.com and mrporter.com and am happy that they will be the first on-line retailers to sell Tom Ford ready-to-wear.”
The partnership is big in the fashion industry, especially for the American designer who has 110 boutiques and in brick-and-mortar partner department stores around the world. The brand also operates its own e-commerce destination, tomford.com, selling men’s and women’s accessories, eyewear and beauty, shipping to the US. This is the first-ever global online availability of Tom Ford’s ready-to-wear collections.
Natalie Massenet, Founder and Chairman of net-a-porter.com said: “The Net-a-porter group is about creating the future of fashion. That future is built on firsts and we are thrilled to be the first online retailer to bring Tom Ford to our global and mobile customer base at both net-a-porter.com and mrporter.com. “Tom Ford is one of the most recognisable and coveted brands in the fashion industry and Mr Ford himself one of the most stylish, creative and high profile designers of our time.”
We’re so excited, it’s like Christmas has come early. We are counting down the days to July when the collection hits net-a-porter.com.
