At YNAP we’re always looking for creative, inclusive ways to bring colleagues together, so we can have truly meaningful experiences as a group.  Our recent US Kids Day hosted at DC2 in Mahwah, New Jersey, was a huge success, and we had a lot of happy, smiling faces to show for it! Earlier this month, our Fabric Ambassadors -dedicated employees who foster community spirit and positivity at YOOX NET-A-PORTER, and our Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) including The Ethnic Equality Network and The Parents Caregivers Network, organised a day especially for our employees’ children. It was a delight to see so many of YNAPers’ kids enjoying games, face painting, arts and crafts, among other activities with their parents.  A special thank you to members of Fabric Ambassadors and ERGs for having created cherished memories for our teams.     #LifeAtYNAP

Great to see NET-A-PORTER‘s captivating APAC campaign.

As part of our ongoing commitment to nurturing emerging talent, our team in London recently hosted 90 master’s students from ESCP Business School at our Westfield headquarters. The students had an exclusive look into our head offices and day-to-day operations, as well as insights from Aden May, Head of Technology at YNAP, Shilpa Virdi, Lead Product Manager, and Charlotte Needes, Head of Product. The talk was a chance for students to see how the learnings from their course can be applied in a real-world business context with a focus on technological innovation – including intelligent process automation, customer loyalty, and personalisation strategies. Charlotte Needes spoke with them on the importance of digital transformation in fashion: "In a competitive landscape, customers are increasingly discerning and demand more from brands. To meet their needs, digital transformation is essential. Our goal is to provide a smooth, functional, and delightful experience, helping customers find what they want easily while offering opportunities for discovery and inspiration. We're always seeking new technology to enhance this journey."    A huge thank you to @Andrea Cosentino and the ESCP Business School team, who made this event a success. 

Continuing our long-standing collaboration with SDA Bocconi, this year we offered our business expertise to SDA Bocconi’s MAFED students (Masters in Fashion, Experience & Design Management). The collaboration brought together unique perspectives on the complexities of the luxury fashion industry through a series of interactive sessions.     With the dedicated guidance from industry experts Paolo Mascio, Claudio Lamacchia, Irene Benati, and Caroline Salerno students delved into custom strategies for fashion brands. and tackled comprehensive case studies designed to put their skills to the ultimate test.    Claudio Lamacchia, YOOX NET-A-PORTER’s expert in luxury fashion omnichannel strategies, shares his perspective “This opportunity is not just about sharing knowledge but inspiring and nurturing new talents in the industry. Platforms like these are vital for fostering innovation and preparing the next generation of leaders in luxury fashion.”   Chiara Piancatelli, PhD Program Coordinator, adds, “It was incredibly rewarding to see our MAFED students bring their learning to life by applying digital strategy and e-commerce skills to a real-world business case, designed in collaboration with YNAP managers.”     By engaging with promising talents through this partnership, we are not only contributing to their professional growth but also sparking industry innovations that will help shape the future of luxury fashion. Special thanks to Professor Emanuela Prandelli Prandelli and everyone at SDA Bocconi for their invaluable collaboration in shaping this experience.      #YNAP #MAFED #SDABocconi

Some highlights from our recent #InfinityWeek celebrations, held across our London, Milan, and Zola offices! At YOOX NET-A-PORTER, each year we create a dedicated moment to recognise our colleagues’ achievements in sustainability, with a week full of activities immersing us in our Infinity sustainability goals to build a more circular and inclusive future for fashion.  Our care & repair partners at The Seam joined our London office for a special pop-up event. YNAPers were able to bring their favourite pieces, in need of love for a complimentary repair or alteration, giving worn garments and accessories a new lease of life. In our Milan and Bologna offices, we teamed up with slow fashion start-up Double Trouble Bologna, who hosted workshops that encouraged our colleagues to take time out to work directly with responsible materials. They learnt hands-on skills and were guided through how to make personalised wallets from deadstock and vegan leathers. A big thank you to everyone who got involved and made these events a success!  #LifeAtYNAP  

In May, two of our Employee Resource Groups—the Wellness Collective and Greenroots, and Fabric, the employee group at the core of our people programme—organised two fantastic events for YNAPers in our Hong Kong and Japan offices. In Hong Kong, YNAP employees participated in an uplifting yoga session, which offered a chance to unwind during a busy day and dedicate some time to mindfulness.  Meanwhile, in Japan, we celebrated International Tea Day on the 21st of May. Celebrating the heritage of tea, an age-old symbol of well-being, YNAP employees came together to bring their favourite varieties to the office to share and enjoy with colleagues, creating a moment to bond.   At both events, our employees explored ways to incorporate these practices into their daily routines and discussed the benefits they offer.     Thanks to our Wellness Collective - Greenroots ERGs, and our Fabric Ambassadors, for organising these events!     #LifeatYNAP
