SSENSE — design system & UI screens
A stark white editorial homepage anchored by a colossal mixed serif/sans hero headline "SALE Up to 70% OFF" with twin "SHOP MENSWEAR / SHOP WOMENSWEAR" links beneath. The signature element is the asymmetric magazine grid of full-bleed fashion photography with tiny uppercase captions (FASHION / CULTURE / RECENT) acting as art-directed cards, plus a centered oversized serif editorial feature ("How Brick Became a Status Symbol"). The thin minimal top nav and category labels keep all visual weight on the imagery and dramatic type scale contrast.

Decoded design system

The single interactive/action color is #000000 — used only on interactive or must-notice elements (buttons, links, key highlights), never on large fills.
