Our Story
Ladiesse is an agentic shopping platform for independent fashion.
Not a search engine. Not a department store. A platform that understands what you are looking for, the occasion, the feeling, the aesthetic, and finds it for you across a curated edit of the world's best independent brands.
We built this because the best fashion in the world has always been hard to find. Not because it doesn't exist, but because the tools we use to shop were never designed to find it.
THE TEAM
Aynur Sinem Alak — Founder & CEO
Sinem is a technology entrepreneur with over 10 years building at the frontier of fashion and consumer tech. She was part of the founding team at Verishop, the fashion and lifestyle marketplace, and served as CTO at Stardust App for four years.
She founded Ladiesse to solve a problem she saw from the inside: independent brands with genuine craft and a real point of view have no good channel to reach the customers who would love them. Ladiesse is that channel, built by someone who understands both the technology and the industry.
Ipek Ersoy Gelgin — Co-Founder & Creative Director
Ipek is a celebrity stylist and Istituto Marangoni graduate who has dressed A-list clients across Istanbul and Los Angeles, including Naomi Watts. She is the curatorial voice behind every brand on Ladiesse, if a brand is on this platform, it is because Ipek chose it personally.
WHAT AGENTIC SHOPPING MEANS
The search bar on our homepage is the beginning of something larger.
Today, you can tell Ladiesse what you are looking for in plain language — a vibe, an occasion, a feeling, and our platform surfaces the right pieces from the right brands. No filters. No category drilling. No algorithm optimizing for what sold last season.
We are building toward a fully agentic experience: a platform that doesn't wait for you to search, but understands your style, anticipates what you need, and connects you directly to the independent brands that make it.
For brands, this means your products get discovered in context — not just when someone searches your name, but when someone describes exactly what you make.
HOW WE WORK WITH BRANDS
Ladiesse operates on a dropship model. You fulfill, we market, we build the discovery layer around your products.
· Every brand is hand-selected by our Creative Director
· We create dedicated editorial content around each brand partner
· Our AI-powered search surfaces your products through intent, not just keywords
· Simple brand agreement, no minimums, straightforward commission structure
· A channel that complements your existing retail, not competes with it
Every brand on our platform is here because our stylist chose it. That is the only way in.
FOR BRAND PARTNERSHIPS
We are currently onboarding a curated selection of independent brands for our next cohort.
