The Dreslyn Launches Summer 2013
By: Jennifer Diamond Jun. 21, 2013
In an online marketplace saturated with static, flat catalogues, multi-page checkout processes and rigid, mannequin-like models, THE DRESLYN - a new online retailer from fashion industry veteran and former SSENSE womenswear head buyer Brooke Taylor Corcia - is nothing short of a revelation.
Founded as a resource for confident, modern women, THE DRESLYN adds a visually stimulating specialty store sensibility to an otherwise sterile online shopping environment. With a distinct identity and mandate to promote diversity and independence, THE DRESLYN, in Taylor-Corcia's words, "challenges the assumption that the role of retailers is to interpret and dictate trends to an unsophisticated audience," and introduces a custom, first-in-kind shopping experience unrivaled by any other online retailer today.
Headquartered in Los Angeles, THE DRESLYN is highlighted by an unmistakably West Coast sensibility encouraging personal style, self-expression and body positivity, with a social, conversational tone that proves refreshing in contrast to the British stiff upper lip and New York seriousness that have as of yet dominated the world of high fashion e-commerce.
Officially launched in June 2013, THE DRESLYN currently offers women's apparel and select home goods from:
6397 / A.L.C. / A.P.C. / Band of Outsiders / BLK DNM / By Zoe / Capri Blue / Carven / Common Projects / Compagnie de Provence / Current/Elliott / Deborah Barnet / Eddie Borgo / Elizabeth & James / Giada Forte / Helmut Helmut Lang / Helmut Lang / Illesteva / Indigofera / IRO / Ivy Krizhner / Jennifer Fisher / Jerome Dreyfuss / Kathryn Amberleigh / L'Agence / Loren Stewart / Lover / Maison Kitsune / Mason by Michelle Mason / MM6 Maison Martin Margiela / One Teaspoon / Opening Ceremony / Pamela Love / Pedro Garcia / R13 / Rag & Bone / Raquel Allegra / Reece Hudson / Rachel Comey / Sea / Simone / Sloosh / Soap & Paper Factory x Patch NYC / Soyer / Taiana / Tess Giberson / The Dreslyn Home / Theory / Theyskens' Theory / Unearthen / Wayne / Yves Salomon / Zimmermann
The DRESLYN philosophy:
The DRESLYN is style before fashion.

About standing apart, but not alone.
We believe in style with substance and enjoying the ride.
Come join the tribe.
