Go to many fashion shows and you will often see buyers in the front row on one side and press on the other. While the press seats may be changing lately due to the recent surge of importance of bloggers, you will always find Natalie Massenet, founder of Net-a-Porter.com in the front row on the buyers side.
I think Natalie is an amazing role model to any woman looking to achieve something with their life. From the humble beginnings back in June of 2000 when designers still needed tough convincing that the internet was a viable means to sell their work, Natalie has grown Net-a-Porter.com into a international work force of over 400 people in both New York and London.
On the up and coming in terms of buyers is Erin Mullaney from Browns whose photo you can find here soon too.
