ŞENER BESIM is a womenswear and accessories brand founded in 2020 by designer Şener Besim. ŞENER BESIM makes luxury Foundational Fashion for the intelligent, independent, urban woman. The work is defined by Şener’s Ethnic background, his love of Architecture, minimalist design and stillness.

Finding inspiration in the complex geometric architecture of his rich Ottoman heritage juxtaposed against the minimalism and stillness of his deep belief in the metaphysical. Drawn to the tension of the ‘in-between’ places as experienced throughout his youth — his designs aim to find a balance between luxury and mindfulness.

Designed using architectural principles with a focus on highly quality materials and expert production, each ŞENER BESIM piece encapsulates the values of quietness and equilibrium.

The brand was founded with an initial experiment with Eyewear which saw it Launch exclusively in Dover Street Market to great critical acclaim, celebrities such as Tilda Swinton and Cate Blanchett were seen in ŞENER BESIM.

The brand later developed its Signature Fine Jewellery and Ready-To-Wear collections which provide our woman with modern luxury, fundamental Jewellery and Eyewear that will be loved season after season.

“I am drawn to luxury products that exist outside of trends, pieces that sit at the edge of fashion” - Şener Besim.

Şener Besim is an Australian-born, Melbourne-based, internationally renowned designer.

His experience growing up in Australia is typical of second- generation immigrants everywhere. Of neither one place nor another, culturally, spiritually & intellectually he was a go-between. With decades of experience in the luxury industry, Şener has used his immense experience, knowledge, and natural capacity for design, to create a brand true to his most authentic self.

“An immigrant’s vision shifts between a sense of estrangement from the surrounding environment and a need to attain a productive standpoint; the making of objects, situations & memories generates a new, unexpected dynamic. In this way, I still try to consider myself an immigrant.” - Şener Besim.
