This really isn't how you sell clothes...

ahahah they look terrible!
also, i've always wondered how women can spend $5,000 on a dress that will be delivered by regular post. how tempting would it be to steal a net-a-porter box off someone's porch?

Good point, guest at 1:24! Although, if I were expecting a Net-A-Porter box, I doubt it would be sitting on my porch:)

Net-a-porter does the "someone has to sign for it" thing when they deliver packages. It can be kind of annoying when you're at work all day.

sasha is like the crack version of gemma ward but i still think they look scarily alike.
i couldn't even tell them apart before gemma gained weight.

Oh sad, don't talk about stealing packages!!! Last year during one of Yoox's sample sales I ordered red stella mccartney heels, marc jacobs pants, balenciaga pants, and a mcqueen dress, and the dumb ups doofus left the box on my porch without getting a signature, and some hoodrat stole it! since it was sample sale, they couldn't resend my shit. saaaad face!

net a porter delivers via messenger service in NYC by next day, also you have to sign for it. and they're sales have gone up 85% in the last year, so I would say they're doing a pretty good job "selling clothes."
although the models do look run over by a bus in those shots.

guest at 2.14: that's literally awful. last year i came home to see someone had kicked the door in and turned it upside down. they took my camera, an old phone, passport, some credit cards etc, but when the police came round and i had to give them a list i was most upset about the clothes! i was like 'PRADA bag. MARC JACOBS sunglasses. YSL clutch, and gave them really specific descriptions and how they were limited editions and stuff. then casually mentioned the 'important' stuff.
think the police thought i was the biggest idiot in the world.

I don't know what would make me more upset: If someone stole my clothes or my computers!

Fashionista, I logged on to Net-a-porter last night and I was thinking the exact same thing. The smokey eye just isn't working it's usual magic on these three. . .

Dude guest 4:40, that was so unnecessarily mean spirited. There's a whole lot of hating on this website recently and I just don't get it. I know it's easier to be mean over the internet, but I think people should think before they post. If you run the risk of ruining someone's day with your comment, is it really worth it? Probably not. . . I'd be upset too if someone stole my stuff.

Feel free to call me an idiot, but I don't know what I'm supposed to be looking for on the net-a-porter.com homepage. Everyone is talking about Sasha (LOVE!) and Jessica Stam (HATE!) but all I can see is Bruna Tenorio in Fendi's Spring/Summer 2008 circle print dress on the front page.
Please help!

No, it really isn't. Ouch, they're a hot mess. They look like they fell into a hedge. Although, I do have to say that their looks are consistent. :)
