SUPERMODEL LARA STONE IS PORTER’S SUMMER COVER STAR

PORTER – The NET-A-PORTER Group’s first independent consumer magazine – takes the theme of “escape” in its very broadest sense for the Summer Escape issue

Lucy Yeomans, Editor-in-Chief, says: “We are thrilled to feature Lara Stone on this issue’s cover. Following her return to modelling after a year out following the birth of her baby Alfred, the Dutch super is in even hotter demand, looking more beautiful and womanly than ever. She talks to PORTER about having finally found happiness in herself and opens up about her struggles with her weight and body image, a rare moment of honesty for someone in her profession.”  Lara Stone was photographed by Inez & Winoodh for issue 3.

Issue 3 also explores other ways to escape this summer – through art (including features with Rachel Feinstein and Julian Schnabel, who is interviewed by David Bailey), food (Lauren Hutton interviews LA’s chef of the moment Nina Clemente) and even sport (see tennis world number one Rafa Nadal hit the court with Natalia Vodianova).

The third issue of PORTER is shoppable through NET-A-PORTER’s iPhone app and is available at newsstands globally and at NET-A-PORTER.COM and THE OUTNET.COM from Friday 6th June.

ADIDAS ORIGINALS BY RITA ORA AUTUMN WINTER 2014

As I’m sure you’re aware by now, FW14’s biggest fashion collaboration is sure to be Adidas Originals by Rita Ora. As exciting as it sounds, the award winning pioneer of style brings her unique, wild twist to classic adidas pieces.

Known as much for her fearless take on fashion, as for her head turning musical collaborations, Rita Ora has carved herself a pedestal for her energy and original spirit. Now Ora collaborates with adidas Originals in a 3 season collaboration, a match brought about by a mutual admiration for breaking the rules and our shared rebellious natures.

Of the collaboration, Ora says:

“The collaboration came about through mutual love and appreciation. I have always been a fan of adidas Originals and respect what they stand for in their fearlessness and originality. I worked very closely with adidas Originals to put a personal touch in every piece with connections to my music, my career and my life. I’m really proud of the collection and beyond excited for my fans to get their hands on it!”
