Altuzarra

Looking for second hand Altuzarra pieces? You’re in excellent style company. Altuzarra is one of those brands that quietly delivers everything we want in modern fashion - impeccable tailoring, clever design, a hint of sexiness, and clothes that make you feel like your most polished, powerful self. It’s the kind of label we love at Shush - smart, wearable, and just that little bit different.

Altuzarra was launched in New York in 2008 by French-American designer Joseph Altuzarra. He quickly built a reputation for creating womenswear that strikes the perfect balance between structure and fluidity, confidence and femininity. His background includes time at Givenchy under Riccardo Tisci and internships at Marc Jacobs and Proenza Schouler, so it’s no surprise that his own label blends European polish with American ease.

Worn by the likes of Meghan Markle, Cate Blanchett and Michelle Obama, Altuzarra is all about elevated everyday dressing - from soft tailoring and sculptural knitwear to slinky dresses and standout coats. And when you shop it preloved? Even better.

Why Altuzarra Pieces Are So Special

We love how Altuzarra clothes make a statement without ever shouting. There’s always something clever going on - a beautifully twisted seam, an asymmetric neckline, a flash of leg where you don’t expect it. These are pieces you’ll reach for when you want to feel stylish and pulled-together without sacrificing comfort or ease.

Altuzarra’s collections often draw inspiration from art, travel and film, and you can see that in the small details - embroidery inspired by Japanese woodcuts, dresses that nod to 1940s silhouettes, or outerwear that feels part Parisian, part New York power woman.

Signature Altuzarra touches include:

- High slits and wrap-style skirts for a subtle sultry feel

- Clever tailoring with softly structured lines

- Draped jersey and knit dresses that move beautifully

- Layered prints and subtle colour-blocking

- Details like tassels, lacing and ruching for texture and shape

Whether you’re dressing for a meeting, a dinner date, or just the school run in style, Altuzarra always adds that little extra polish.

Altuzarra Favourites That Fly Preloved

- Belted coats and trenches - timeless and so flattering

- Body-skimming jersey dresses with slits or twists

- Wide-leg trousers with fluid movement

- Fitted blazers and wrap skirts - mix-and-match magic

- Sculptural knits and asymmetric jumpers

Because Altuzarra isn’t mass-produced and often sells out quickly, the preloved market is the perfect place to hunt down those forever pieces you missed the first time around.
