My Corner

Since I popped into my current course at Northumbria, my shopping manner was totally changed. It's not that because I have no time to shop "off-line" but I find shopping online more interesting, easier, more convenient and save me a bunch of time too. Remember last year when my gossip friends talk about shopping online, I just wondered can we call shopping a fun if we shop without touching, seeing and trying on? What's the point of spending money over the internet rather than experience in reality ?

I assumed they were maniac but I gotta admit I am now more maniac than them as I become an online shopaholic more than ever. Indeed, if we 've got a particular aesthetic, seize our silhouette, know our actual size (though each fashion brand has slightly different size chart) then shopping online just takes us 1 step closer to be an authentic shoppaholic. 

My Corner is not about what I am talking about myself, but a shopping website that I just discovered last week as one of my favorite shopping destination and wanna share everyone my experience.



Thecorner.com is powered by Yoox Group ( also a fashion online wholesale/retailer but I would call it an online outlet instead for their constant last-season stock). If you can grab a bargain for various cutting edge designer stuff on Yoox then Theconrner.com featured high-end fashion through their online boutique with selectively latest goods. Designers such as Ann Demeulemeester, Rick Owen, Damir Domar, Haider Ackerman, Dries Van Noten, Z Zegna and Santoni all choose Thecorner.com as their official internet retailing partner.





Apart from that, customers can also find boundless current news about fashion shoots, video and short films have been curated exclusively by some of the world's most avant-garde creative minds including Hdi Slimane, nick Knight and my beloved Nicola Formichetti.

My observation is Thecorner.com seems to be in extreme tough competition with

-Herviabazzar.com
-Oki-ni.com
-Ln-cc.com
-Antonioli.eu
-Endclothing.co.uk






Antonioli.eu website
Inside Antonioli Store in Milan


because they all currently make deal with cutting edge designer and manage their site in the same manner : subscribe to receive newsletter, flexible return, competitive pricing etc ...
All the site above are from the Uk except Antonioli.eu is not only a retailer store but also massive fashion online in Italy. I wish to see their store some day when I can pay Milan a visit !!

Plus, if you are in the age range from 30 and above, I can suggest you some other shopping destination such as:

-Slamjam.com
-TrunkClothiers.com ( found by Mats Klingberg) 8 Chiltern Street London W1
-Brownsfashion.com
-Yoox.com
-John Simons Apparelc company ( Est 1955)  on 46 Chiltern Street London W1U 7QR
