Recent Feature: ESSX NYC
In our most recent Styl.ish feature, we spotlighted ESSX—an independent concept store based in the heart of New York’s Lower East Side. Known for its underground fashion roots and raw creative energy, the Lower East Side has always been a home for those who move with intention and style, and ESSX reflects that spirit.
What sets ESSX apart is its thoughtful curation—blending streetwear with contemporary pieces from both established labels and rising designers who are reshaping the scene. It’s more than just a retail space; it’s a space for community, conversation, and culture.
For this shoot, I had the chance to interview and style Jess Xu, a creative force in New York’s fashion landscape. We talked styling philosophies, creative growth, and her advice to the next wave of youth carving out their place in fashion.
