Designer Spotlight: Hannoh Wessel – The Art of Effortless Luxury at Riada Concept

Who is Hannoh Wessel?

Hannoh Wessel is a designer with an eye for quiet, timeless elegance. Born in Germany, trained at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Antwerp, and having honed his craft at Thierry Mugler and Lanvin, Wessel now calls Paris home. His label reflects a love of craftsmanship, natural fabrics, and simplicity with soul—the kind of clothing you’ll reach for season after season.

What makes Hannoh Wessel different?

While many designers chase trends, Hannoh Wessel takes the opposite approach. His pieces are all about:

• Natural fabrics like washed cottons, and linens.

• Unique finishes such as garment-dyeing and hand-washing that give each piece character.

• Relaxed, effortless silhouettes that feel as good as they look.

The result? Luxury that doesn’t shout—just beautifully made clothes you’ll love to wear.

Why is Hannoh Wessel considered luxury?

Luxury here isn’t about logos or overstatement. It’s about:

• Fabrics that are soft, breathable, and designed to last.

• Tailoring that’s precise but never fussy.

• Details that feel artisanal and thoughtful, like an uneven hem or hand-finished seam.

Each piece has a subtle individuality, making it just as special to wear to brunch in Woollahra as it is to pack for a European summer.

Which Hannoh Wessel pieces are must-haves?

If you’re just discovering the label, some hero pieces include:

• Relaxed linen-silk blend skirts – effortless, versatile, and easy to style.

• Lightweight tailored blazers – perfect for layering in Sydney’s climate.

• Wide-leg trousers – timeless, flattering, and endlessly wearable

 

These pieces are designed to work hard in your wardrobe, whether for casual days or elevated evenings.
