Fashion Models:
Model for Success

My friend Erin emigrated to Europe from the States. As Brown's Buying Director she carries a huge economic responsibility as she follows in the footsteps of the legendary Joan Burstein, founder of Browns who is credited on the Brown's site with "discovering such talents as John Galliano, Alexander McQueen, Hussein Chalayan, and Commes des Garcons"

Not only did she enjoy a full solo page interview in British Vogue recently, but British Vogue is also holding a key Must Buy series in which they asked some of Britain's most powerful buyers to give their forecasts.

Given that back in September of 2008, Erin was already investing in transparent sheer blouses before sheer/transparency became The Big Trend on the Spring/Summer 2018 runways, I would listen very carefully to her words when they come out in Vogue.

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.
