Yoox Net-a-Porter Group to launch Isabel Marant e-commerce site

London - The continual rise of e-commerce and m-commerce across the global is a force luxury and higher end fashion retailers can no longer ignore. However, there are several ways to create an online presence which reflects the unique experience and premium feel offered by brands, as proved by luxury online retailer Yoox Net-a-Porter Group (YNAP). This is why French brand Isabel Marant has teamed up with YNAP to open its debut online mono-brand store.

The Parisian-brand has signed a five year agreement with the group, who will develop and manage its online store, isabelmarant.com. "The online flagship store of Isabel Marant, a brand which continues to achieve global acclaim and success with its fashion-forward collections, will be launched in 2017," said the company in a statement.
