Online shopping can be a thrill, but sometimes, there is nothing like previewing and touching the next season’s threads up-close. From Saint Laurent to Elie Saab, 15 looks were showcased during the cocktail hosted by Net-a-Porter.com at Flutes at the National Museum of Singapore—to the delight of the fashion insiders and style cognoscenti in attendance, many of whom top its list of “Extremely Important People” in Asia. Also in town was the company’s global head of personal shopping, Lupe Puerta, who spent the night chatting with guests about fashion, emerging designers and the joys of receiving a black-boxed delivery.
