profit on sales of £223m.
E-tail sites continue to grow. In June Asos reported
£20.3m profit on sales of £223m, a figure that's
expected to rise by 60% this year.
“Net-a-Porter and ASOS´s popularity lies in their

brand consultancy Interbrand. Clifton says furter, "Their
technology has developed from the plonky early fashion
sites to make the whole shopping experience very fluid
and vivid. It's been said that the last thing people would
buy online is fashion, but they have proved that wrong."
In 2009 Massenet launched a sister e-tail site, called
TheOutnet. This site sells stock from previous seasons at a
discounted price. Latest addition is Mr Porter. Massenet
says, "We have a ready-made customer base for our
men's business," she says. "100% of Net-a-porter
customers have a man in their lives in some capacity and

Wiseman ends her article, asking the question “Does the
success of sites such as Net-a-porter signal the end of the
high street?”
