About the brand

ESSE Studios is a contemporary, ready-to-wear lifestyle brand founded in 2019 by Charlotte Hicks as a revolt against the fashion industry's obsession with fast, seasonal collections and excess. The Sydney-based brand releases refined and sustainable capsule wardrobes titled 'Editions' filled with timeless staples that encourage slow and considered purchases. Each Edition is designed to work harmoniously with previous releases, allowing customers to thoughtfully build a forever wardrobe. With over 10 years of experience designing for leading global fashion brands, Hicks created ESSE out of frustration with industry waste, championing a slower, more sustainable approach to fashion. The brand combines timeless elegance with contemporary design, featuring clean lines, elevated basics, and ethical production practices. ESSE's elegant pieces stand out for their simplicity, functionality, and ease, appealing to women who take a considered approach to style.
