Gnossem
Our ambition is to become the global destination for local and international independent fashion communities, powered by e-commerce, curation, brand incubation, editorials and social engagement.
Headquarters address
Gnossem is the brainchild of Lisa Crosswhite. Realizing that no single brand today owns the online independent fashion space globally, Lisa's inspiration was fueled by a love for design and people.
She craved a retail destination where people with unique tastes, could find high quality, rare items to add to their personal wardrobes. While modeling, Lisa came across so many incredibly talented local designers that were appreciated by a niche clientele but too hidden to be accessible by anybody else. She therefore began dreaming of an online platform that could tell the stories of these independent designers to fashion lovers all around the World. And a place for independent shoppers, like her, to explore a plethora of highly curated unique things. Could there one day be a greater movement for independent fashion, much like there's been a movement for indie film, music and magazines?
By now, Gnossem retails more than 200 brands, featuring the largest collection of independent designers in the US and Asia. Gnossem brands are bought by, among others, Naomi Campbell, Dita von Teese, Rihanna, Gwenyth Paltrow, & JLo and Gnossem has been commissioned by US retailer Anthropologie to create an exclusive co-branded collection for the US market.
