STYLE.COM's exclusive partnership with Neiman Marcus, announced in September 2000, allows it to comb the runways of the world for the best looks and make them available for purchase with the touch of a button. At launch, the StyleStore will feature designs from Oscar de la Renta, Tuleh, Chloe and Marc Jacobs, plus accessories and shoes from Manolo Blahnik and Anya Hindmarch among others.
