Once upon a time, there was a place you could go on the internet to buy all the strangest fruits that fashion’s best and brightest had to offer. Now, you’re more likely to hit it when you decide to become the billionth person in the world to own a pair of sambas. That place is SSENSE - the luxury e-commerce mega retailer based out of Montreal, which houses every fashion brand from Canada Goose to Issey Miyake, and employs just about the entire 20-something anglo population of Montreal. SSENSE has become an undeniable powerhouse in the world of luxury e-commerce, carving a name for itself with an unorthodox business model that fuses fashion and technology. But can a company which has been called “the Amazon of high fashion” really be the bastion of the arts that it proclaims to be? In this extra special Patreon bonus episode, Maia and Hannah, with the help of a series of interviews from former SSENSE employees and small business owners, discuss SSENSE’S impact on fashion as an art form. As SSENSE gobbles up all the fish in the e-commerce pond, is it actually supporting emerging artists, or snuffing them out?
