Reading the article about Natalie Massenet in this month's Vogue UK ("Net Prophet") I was captured by more than one thing. Firstly - Natalie Massenet sold her 51% share in Net-A-Porter for... $350 million. That is serious, serious money! Secondly - that Natalie approached current Vogue UK editor Alexandra Shulman with her idea for an online luxury shopping destination and Shulman was skeptic and refused to invest. I thought it was interesting that Shulman owned to this, as she (and one imagines, hundreds of other high-flying fashion characters across the world), are rueing the day they turned down the ambitious American girl who was then Isabella Blow's fashion assistant. And thirdly - cargo pants are going to be HUGE this season. J Brand Cargo pants, to be exact (every girl in the NAP offices have put an order in for them, apparently). Not the baggy, bulky kind of your tomboy youth, but the slim-fitting, super sleek kind. In every colour from resplendent peacock green to a darker, more faded wash. Covered with everything from holes, rips, tears and zips - and loads of pockets. The cargo pant is this seasons cargo jacket, and I predict the social pages of Tatler and the street-style blogs to be filled with girls in drapey camel coats, a pretty little lacey shirt, loads of jangling chains and a pair of slim-fit cargo pants, cuffed at the ankle.
You heard it here first (ish, via Vogue UK).
