Michael Mente is most definitely a friend of Fashionista. Not only has the owner of e-commerce sites Revolve, Forward, Reverse, and the US Division of FarFetch been generous with his time answering our questions about the world of shopping online, he even flew out from Los Angeles to participate in our "How I'm Making It" panel last December. Since Michael's primary job is buying new fashion for his sites, we recently asked him who he's watching in terms of up-and-coming labels.
