Fashion editors might appear to be bathed in the glow of high-end design, but in reality, we love a bargain – just drop by any designer sample sale and you’ll see a handful of Vogue staffers scouring the rails. Get between an editor and an 80 per cent off Wales Bonner sneaker and prepare to meet thy maker.

If anything, being exposed to the inner workings of the fashion machine only makes us pickier. So, with the Black Friday sales on the horizon, we are already making our plan of attack to ensure that we only make the very best decisions on the day. Choosing your fighter (AKA retailer) is your first port of call, and for fashion insiders intent on snapping up a designer deal, Ssense is the holy grail of shopping.

Packed full of contemporary, designer and new-gen brands, Ssense never disappoints when it comes to the seasonal sales, and this year is no different. While the Black Friday deals haven’t yet hit the site, there are already plenty of gems to be found in the sale section, so we’ve handpicked the best bits for you to peruse.

What’s on our wish list right now? Wardrobe.NYC’s beige wool coat (if it’s good enough for Hailey…), Dries Van Noten’s much-copied striped rugby shirt, Dragon Diffusion’s cult woven bag and Vivienne Westwood’s classic boned corset. So many wardrobe heroes, so little time. Scroll down to see and shop our Ssense sale edit.
