Luxists reports that high end fashion designers are finally caving in to online retailing.

It might come as a surprise to some. With online shopping growing more and more popular, why didn't fashion designers think of this sooner? Well the truth is, the fashion industry holds on to traditions. There is a certain way of doing things, and many are reluctant to accept change.

Luxury shoppers can now rejoice at the fact that they no longer have to hunt for that exclusive item at various middlemen retailers. They can go straight to the designer's official website and browse through the entire collection.
