Store Spotlight: All Eyes on Ssense

2023/10/12

Ssense has always had a special spot in our hearts and closets. There are a lot of stores that have great fashions and coveted designers, but Ssense is more than that. Its fashions are always a bit edgy, a whole lotta’ unique, and different in a very fashion-forward manner. Basics have interesting cuts and seams to them. Sweats are incredibly comfortable and are more athleisure wear than gym time. Dresses are modern and more Morticia Addams than Cinderella. Footwear is artisanal and even exclusive to the site at times, making us feel FOMO at an all-time high.

Ssense’s latest collections for the Fall/Winter 2023 season are here. Check out 10 designers on their site that we are obsessing over right now.

Rick Owens/Rick Owens DRKSHDW/Rick Owens Lilies

On the Ssense site you’ll find three lines by this grungy and seductive fashion house. There’s Rick Owens, Rick Owens DRKSHDW, and Rick Owens Lilies. If you’re not familiar with DRKSHDW and Lilies, both are diffusion lines with different aesthetics. The former follows in the same dark and moody feel of classic Rick Owens pieces, while Lilies steers into soft basics and more feminine realms. A little of each line wouldn’t hurt anyone. As a matter of matter, we highly suggest pieces from all three of these lines to match any of your moods.

Rick Owens Lilies Purple Fog Midi Skirt $570

Rick Owens Black Pull On Bogun Boots $2,205

Millie Savage

Hailing from Melbourne, Australia, when you first spot a Millie Savage piece you immediately think “artisanal” and “handmade”. Glittering heart rings, multi-media drop earrings, and chunky chain necklaces deserve a spot in your jewelry box. These are without a doubt, special pieces, but they are special pieces that can be worn every day and they deserve to be seen. It’s very hard to decide on which ones are our favorites because they are all so beautiful.

Millie Savage Gold Ruby Heart Ring $1,040

Millie Savage Gold 9/22 Heart Hoop Earrings $775

SRVC

SRVC is an incredibly modern line that oozes with sexiness. They key thing about SRVC is that the designs are beautifully fashion forward without even trying. There is an effortless quality to its reconstructed pieces, artistically cut-out tank tops, and asymmetrical pants. We guarantee that even if you wear a pair of their unassuming black trousers, people will take notice of its special details.

SRVC Brown Cut-Out Tank Top $365

SRVC Green Service Hoodie $525

Versace Jeans Couture

Of course, we will love us some Versace, but right now, we are really feeling the 1990s vibe of Versace Jeans Couture. At the top of our lists to snatch up are their belt buckle handbags, colorful purses, fierce mini dresses, and bold glossy leggings. Whenever we want to go a bit loud, this is the brand we really enjoy doing it with.

Versace Jeans Couture Black Graffiti Cutout Midi Dress $475

Paris Texas

Not actually based out of Paris, Texas, the footwear line, Paris Texas is a made-in-Italy brand that produces some show-stopping footwear. For the fall season, you’ll be itching to get your hands on a pair of their reptile-embossed stiletto boots. If you need something that’s more everyday wear, there are also boots with chunky heels that will allow you to run around all day easier. For those nights where when you want to go out and make a statement, do not miss out on their platform heels! OMG. They are to die for.

Y’s

We love Y’s because we love Yohji Yamamoto. Y’s contains fabulous silhouettes that are interesting and take basics to another level. The designs also have an androgynous quality to them, which is one of our favorite looks to wear out. Choose these pieces for those days where you want to grab and go, because they are so easy to mix and match into the rest of your wardrobe.

R13

R13 crafts some of our favorite denim. Their jeans are outstanding! Just looking at them you know that they are something special and luxurious. We’re not going to lie, their denim comes with a hefty price tag, but once you slip on a pair you will become addicted. If you are loving the Quiet Luxury trend right now, this is the denim that you will want to snatch up.

GCDS

An acronym for God Can’t Destroy Streetwear (catchy, huh?), GCDS has got you covered for days when you want some sex appeal, for days when you want to look cute, and for days when you want to look understated, but still as fashionable AF. Their designs feel like a breath of fresh air and will give you a ton of OOD inspiration.
