As one of the highest profile partnerships in fashion explodes, with dirty laundry rather than designer labels the order of the day, some are looking back to happier times.
Friends of Swedish creative Erik Torstensson and fashion titan Dame Natalie Massenet – now embroiled in a bitter war of words with shocking claim and counter claim about their 14-year relationship – vividly remember an extraordinary break in Positano, Italy, in 2015, to mark Massenet's 50th birthday.
Massenet, a Tatler journalist who founded the Net-a-Porter fashion website in 2010, threw a party for the ages on that July weekend.
Her 'London crowd' were there in force, including models Kate Moss, Cara and Poppy Delevingne and Laura Bailey.
It was a golden age for the first couple of luxury e-commerce.
