— Net-a-porter has named a new leadership team, including some company veterans, who'll be working with the recently appointed chief executive officer Heather Kaminetsky. New owner LuxExperience said the team will 'reenergize' Net's 'value proposition and brand appeal, and benefit from the efficiencies and resources of a bigger group in the back-of-house operations.' More from WWD Jewelry Brand Vickisarge Gets the Val Garland Makeover Luxury Retail Still Prevails on Mount Street Liberty Names Beverley Devonish Store Director of London Flagship Brigitte Chartrand has been named chief buying and merchandising officer and will oversee all categories. Previously she was vice president of womenswear, kidswear and all other categories at Ssense. Prior to Ssense she was the founder of Reborn, a boutique that garnered acclaim for being the first to bring directional brands to the North American market. Claudia Plant, who was famously 'employee number one' and a cofounder of Net-a-porter when it launched in 1999, is returning as chief brand and customer officer, overseeing marketing, brand and content. She is credited with helping to establish Net's voice, identity and editorial approach.

She added: 'I look forward to working alongside our talented teams and partners around the world as we build the next chapter of Net-a-porter's exciting journey.' Kaminetsky's appointment was first revealed in April just as Mytheresa was completing its purchase of Yoox Net-a-porter from Richemont. As reported, the publicly listed parent of Mytheresa has rebranded as LuxExperience, with retailers Mytheresa, Net-a-porter, Mr Porter, Yoox and The Outnet in its portfolio. In the medium term, LuxExperience said its goal will be to grow to a 4 billion euro GMV per annum business with an adjusted EBITDA margin of more than 8 percent. The restructuring is expected to take 24 to 36 months and is being funded with a net cash position of 555 million euros at closing.

Here's how to dress for work this summer the Vogue way
Getty It's giving summer, alright. The temperatures in town are hiking up but the calendar says business as usual. Every morning, we find ourselves in the same dilemma—what do we put on for work today? A sleek blazer that screams boardroom ready? Chic, but stiffling. A cute flowy mini to combat the heat? Comfortable, but not exactly work appropriate. And so the cycle continues. It's a familiar question, one that we ask ourselves quite often—how do you dress for work in Singapore, where sun-soaked days and high humidity are the norm, without compromising on style or professionalism? This transitional season is a tricky time, sartorially speaking, especially while navigating between air-conditioned boardrooms and sweltering commutes that feel like a sauna. But don't sweat it; we have a solution—a wardrobe built on breathable fabrics, effortless tailoring, and silhouettes that move with rather than against the weather. For instance, ditch your formal pants in favour of midi skirts that move with ease, or go with a crisp linen pantsuit for a two-piece wonder. In the tropics, the office-bound can in fact have a lot of fun experimenting with fabrics and cuts. Work fits don't have to be boring; the comeback of capris is proof of that. After all, if there's one thing you can control in this capricious climate, it would be your wardrobe. This summer, go beyond slathering on copious amounts of sunscreen and follow Vogue Singapore's guide to surviving the 9 to 5 in style. Getty 1 / 34 Linen suits For those seeking an alternative to traditional pantsuits, linen pantsuits are the perfect option. This lightweight, breathable fabric is both chic and practical, making it an ideal fit for the office.

Getty 7 / 34 Any weather midi skirts While we love a risqué mini skirt moment in this humid weather, there's no denying that it could be a serious dress code violation. A midi skirt, on the other hand, offers the same comfort without getting a side eye from HR. Lend structure to your midi skirts by styling them with a tailored vest or a structured blazer. To jazz things up, elevate the look with a scarf. Courtesy of Mytheresa 8 / 34 Any weather midi skirts: Faithfull Corbiere Linen Top, $180 Available at Mytheresa.

How to wear straight leg jeans like an off-duty model this summer
Are you ready for the return of straight leg jeans? For the longest time, it felt like baggy jeans were the only choice for the street style crowd—ideally low-rise, with some pointy or Tabi boots being swallowed up by the pooling hems. In recent months though, and as the weather's picked up, another style of jeans has been shuffling their way onto our moodboards. I'm talking, of course, about straight leg jeans—not baggy, not skinny, but that sweet spot in between. I first started seeing a noticeable return to the humble straight leg around fashion month earlier this year, when it was clearly the go-to uniform for off-duty models slouching around Paris and New York. Usually low or mid-rise, and worn with loafers, ballet flats, or boots, the straight leg feels casual and low effort, without totally swamping you like some baggy jeans can. And if, like me, you'll never be on board with a return to skinny, the straight leg is an easy alternative that feels like a classic. Getty Getty Bella Hadid—who I consider a sort of soothsayer when it comes to jeans—has also been on the straight leg jeans trend for a minute. Often pairing hers with a vest and trainers, or sometimes a lil stiletto, the 28-year-old model has got straight leg outfit combos down to a fine art. She's also not averse to a high-rise straight leg with a belt, which feels very 'early 2010s mom' in the best way possible. Controversial take, but: I feel like she eats in a straight leg even more than she does a bootcut. Getty Fortunately, finding the most perfect straight leg jeans for summer is a relatively painless experience—unlike, say, piling a gazillion bootcuts into a harshly lit changing room. My colleague Alice Cary swears by vintage straight legs, as the denim has a bit more life to it. 'The pair of Levi's 501s I found in a vintage store in the US several years ago are perfectly worn-in and will continue to age as I wear them,' she wrote for British Vogue recently. 'They have a finish that's hard to replicate in a factory.' Obviously, models look good in anything—that's literally their job. But if there's one trend that's worth replicating this year from the GOATs of low-key cool, it's the straight leg. Whether you're a model or not, I truly believe you can't go wrong with this straight up-and-down classic. Courtesy of Uniqlo 1 / 6 Uniqlo wide straight-leg jeans, $65 Available at Uniqlo.
