This page is for shoppers who like Andersson Bell's mix of Korean street dressing and Scandinavian restraint — deconstructed knitwear, patchworked denim, loose tailoring — and want more of it. The closest matches sit in two camps: Nordic minimalists like Won Hundred, Norse Projects, Séfr and CMMN SWDN, and Asian labels working the same deconstruction angle, such as Sacai, Sankuanz and Comme des Garçons. Expect to pay similar or more; Andersson Bell's med-high pricing puts it below Acne Studios, Bode and Auralee, and above Awake NY.

Xiamen-based label by Shangguan Zhe blending military and subcultural references into experimental, conceptually driven menswear.

Malmö-based menswear label from Saif Bakir and Emma Hedlund, known for knitwear, relaxed tailoring and workwear-inflected outerwear in muted palettes.

British designer label making relaxed shirting, tailoring and knitwear in traditional UK fabrics, independently run from London since 1970.

Beams Plus is the Tokyo-based heritage menswear line of retailer Beams, reworking classic American Ivy, workwear and military styles in Japan.

Rei Kawakubo's Tokyo label, founded 1969, known for avant-garde pattern-cutting, a family of sub-labels and the heart-logo Play diffusion line.

Won Hundred. The Copenhagen label shares Andersson Bell's med-high pricing, muted Scandinavian palette, relaxed tailoring and denim focus — it's the closest like-for-like on both look and cost. If you want the deconstructed side instead, Sacai is the nearest match.
Awake NY is the main one — mid-priced logo tees, hoodies, rugbys and workwear outerwear from Angelo Baque's New York label, with the same relaxed volumes. Comme des Garçons' Play line is another lower-cost way in. Anti Social Social Club is mid-priced too, but it's logo-graphic streetwear rather than designed garments.
It sits in the med-high tier — above Awake NY, roughly level with Sankuanz, Norse Projects, Séfr, HERESY, Beams Plus and A Kind of Guise, and below Acne Studios, Sacai, Auralee, Bode, Kapital and Margaret Howell.
Deconstructed knitwear, patchworked denim and outerwear, and loose tailoring for men and women, blending Korean street-influenced dressing with pared-back Scandinavian design. It joined the official Milan Fashion Week calendar in 2023.
SSENSE carries a large share of this list, including Andersson Bell, Sankuanz, Norse Projects, Séfr, CMMN SWDN, (di)vision, Bode and Awake NY. Dover Street Market is the other common stockist, and Andersson Bell also runs its own Korean retail including a shop-in-shop at The Hyundai Seoul.
