While part of me loves elevated basics, minimalism, and chic dressing, I’m also obsessed with brand discovery, emerging designers, and subversive labels. Artists at the intersection of fashion, art, and culture that are unbridled and less mainstream tend to inspire me the most—those who go beyond fashion itself by exploring outside conventional norms and creating a distinct space for self-expression.
Ssense is a place for finding these types of brands as well as household names like Bottega Veneta, Calvin Klein, Levi’s, and Skims, and I appreciate the retailer’s range. Whenever I’m in a rut and want to feel inspired by clothes again, it’s where I always come back to. Stocked with Gimaguas, Paloma Wool, Conner Ives, Gabe Gordon, Sinéad O’Dwyer, Chopova Lowena, and Dilara Fındıkoğlu, Ssense’s niche curation always makes me feel excited about shopping again.
