Being 20 again? No way!

When you look at the beautiful faces of these women, you will know why you should not cry a tear for your twenties. Instead, ask yourself what you would have liked to know at 20! What this has to do with the luxury retailer Net-a-Porter - read here!

The revolutionary of luxury fashion celebrates its 20th anniversary this month. At this event, 20 fascinating women, including designers, filmmakers, artists, writers, entrepreneurs and activists, will share their advice to their younger selves.

"You are younger than you think. You will never feel like an adult. Never underestimate the power of a smile. You will never regret the time you spend with family and friends. Travel, travel, travel! Grades are really not that important, hard work is. Listen to your feeling - it rarely lets you down. What does not kill you makes you stronger - really. Your long-standing love of fashion will prove useful one day," says Alison Loehnis, President of NET-A-PORTER & MR PORTER.

How many times have we all turned a blind eye when we have heard life wisdom and nicely meant advice. But it's worth listening to. And so this time Net-a-Porter offers us not only inspiration in fashion.

As far as our celebrity ladies are concerned, it seems that their general attitude has changed over the years. After all, the advice they give is very similar. Sentences like "Say no - more often", "Take the helm yourself" and also "You are beautiful just the way you are" can never be heard often enough in every generation.

"Oh I wish for my 20-year-old self to know that she is so beautiful. That her beauy comes from her loving heart and her radiant soul. I wish she had known that this beauty should be celebrated, honored and respected with dignity and mindfulness. I would have told her that she possesses this beauty and radiates from within."

The online retailer Net-a-Porter offers unique fashion for unique women. As the leading online address for luxury fashion with constantly new products that set standards, the website offers the ultimate fashion range from the most renowned designer labels, the most exquisite selection of elegant watches and fine jewellery, as well as more than 200 exquisite beauty brands.

The exquisite novelty offers place particular emphasis on highlighting the creativity and promise behind the next generation of fashion talent. This is what The Vanguard, the program for up-and-coming brands, stands for.

Awareness of the environmental and social impact is increasingly shaping the product offering and was one of the reasons for the launch of the NET SUSTAIN platform. It was developed to introduce brands that put sustainability at the heart of their products. By bringing together content and sales offers to provide customers with an experience they can immerse themselves in and be inspired by, NET-A-PORTER reaches a global community and, with PORTER, it has a specially targeted editorial vertical known for its award-winning content featuring many extraordinary women.

With this in mind, best wishes to our 20 year old me and Happy 20th birthday Net-a-Porter :
May you continue to be at our disposal for the next two decades in fashion and all other important questions in life!
