Last week The Business of Fashion gave its readers a tease about what to expect from Imrad Ahmed’s interview with the Founder and Co-chair of Net-a-Porter, Natalie Massenet. Below is a edited version of their discussion. Enjoy!

The Business of Fashion recently interviewed Natalie Massenet, the founder and chair of Net-a-Porter, in front of a live audience of 200 people, as well as streamed the conversation online.

I’ve included a brief video between BoF Editor, Imran Amed, and Massenet who takes viewers on a behind-the-scenes look inside the Net-a-Porter offices in London, England. The space that the company operates out of is nothing short of spectacular – it’s so white and bright! I’m looking forward to BoF posting highlights of this interview soon.

Fashion in the News is a collection of articles and blog posts found online that catches my attention, and is in my humble opinion worth reading. Enjoy!
