Our take
Luxury fashion has taken well to eCommerce, but it can be difficult for a brand to stand out in the crowded online market. SSENSE, a Montreal-based luxury fashion retailer, manages this with a history of projects and services pushing the boundaries of the industry.
The company’s driving vision is to be a “cultural protagonist”. That means collaborating with brands large and small, lavishly produced cultural events, and a now-iconic photography style for its catalogue.
While the retailer has made a real name for itself in North America and Europe, it will need to localise its offering to compete with the emerging brands shaking up the Chinese market - where it hopes to capture some of the rapidly growing luxury market.
