e commerce

The push toward fall is becoming increasingly hard to ignore as online retailers are beginning to sell out of coveted cold-weather merch. From a Topshop sequin blazer, to a Wang it-bag, to a four thousand dollar goat coat by Burberry--all signs are pointing to next season, not this one. We recommend following suit. Keep track of the inventory at your local stores and favorite online retailers from now through September--this is the time of year when big deliveries, filled with must-have pieces, are hitting shelves.

Net-a-Porter just debuted a new interview within their newly launched video section--this time with iconic designer Oscar de la Renta. The segment includes touching commentary from de la Renta juxtaposed with photos which span his career. Although the release wasn't timed with a big push into de la Renta's Fall collection, there are still six fabulous Oscar de la Renta items to choose from right now.

It's been less than an hour since The Outnet launched into their Christian Louboutin sale and already, most of the inventory is gone. If women will buy anything online it's shoes--especially heavily discounted shoes with eponymous red soles. Above, three styles still available for purchase.

British label Luella unveiled a new website this weekend and it's fully e-commerce enabled. The site is simple and to the point--there is an online store stocked with the current collection as well as an about section and an opportunity to join the email list. So far, there is no lead-in to the Fall 2009 collection but we wouldn't be surprised if it were in the pipeline.

One of our favorite New York stores, Assembly, just launched an e-commerce site. Opened in the Lower East Side of Manhattan in 2008, this small but well-curated shop stocks the likes of Rachel Comey, Raquel Allegra and Dries Van Noten eyewear in addition to a selection of beautiful vintage pieces. The online store carries the same inventory as in-shop, so now everyone can partake in the fine selection. Our two favs, above.
