Brands Like Sezane

Reformation

$$$ U.S

The uncompromising sensuality paired with eco-friendly radicalism makes this Los Angeles-based brand a go-to for those seeking the perfect fit. While Sézane carefully preserves the traditions of Parisian retro style and soft knitwear, Reformation adapts vintage codes to the aggressive rhythm of the metropolis and the principles of sustainable development. The foundation of an investment wardrobe consists of dresses with extreme slits, corset tops, and jeans made from recycled denim with a flawless high waist.

Rouje

$$$ Global

The essence of Parisian style and the aesthetics of the French New Wave come to life in every detail of this project by Jeanne Damas. While Sézane scales French style for global retail, Rouje retains a couture-inspired nonchalance and an emphasis on heightened sensuality. The brand’s key assets include wrap dresses with a delicate floral print, ribbed knit tops, and lipstick in a gold case that creates the effect of kiss-stained lips.

Ba&Sh

$$$ Global

Bohemian freedom and rock-and-roll energy transform every silhouette into a manifesto of modern femininity. While Sézane sticks to understated bourgeois classics, Ba&Sh focuses on bold cutouts and flowing fabrics with vintage prints. It’s worth investing in iconic midi dresses with open backs, voluminous chunky-knit sweaters, and perfectly tailored Cossack boots.

Vanessa Bruno

$$$ Global

Minimalism in the spirit of Paris expresses the concept of “everyday luxury” through natural fabrics and relaxed silhouettes. While Sézane embraces ornate details and retro romance, Vanessa Bruno focuses on clean lines and functional elegance. The brand’s signature items remain the legendary Cabas shopping bags with sequins, voluminous blended wool coats, and bohemian blouses with delicate stitching.

Réalisation Par

$$$ Global

The cult of silk silhouettes and the '90s it-girl aesthetic make this brand symbolic of bold, sexy, and carefree style.

It’s worth investing in the iconic leopard-print The Naomi midi skirt, silk slip dresses with thin straps, and sheer blouses with ruffles.

Christy Dawn

$$$ Global

A pastoral aesthetic and handcrafted details transform every piece into a statement of mindful consumption.

Sessùn

$$$ Global

Sessùn transforms every collection into a deep exploration of textures and natural hues.

Sandro

Paloma Wool

$$ Global

A free creative flow and an intercultural approach transform this Barcelona-based project into a dynamic exploration of color and form.

Mother

$$$ Global

The industrial cult of denim and the spirit of Californian adventure transform every pair into the perfect uniform for life on the go.
