Founded in 2012 by Sylvie Millstein, Hellessy embodies the modern philosophy of dressing women whose lives are organized around a need for pared down elegance that is versatile and thoughtfully constructed. Inspired by Japanese minimalism, Millstein seeks refined, yet practical clothing that suits her lifestyle. Sylvie melded her multi-cultural background, expertise in high fashion and experience as a design-driven New Yorker, to create a collection of luxurious staples that celebrate independence, intelligence and beauty. The collection is made in America, and integrates impeccable fabrics and detailing with superb fit, precise construction, and wearbility.
