Maxfield

Maxfield has been a fixture of Los Angeles fashion since 1969, when Tommy Perse opened it as a concept store built around international names then unseen in the city, among them Prada, Comme des Garçons and Yohji Yamamoto. It moved to its Melrose Avenue flagship in 1985 and later added a beach-facing outpost at the Malibu Country Mart, giving it three shops in all. The Melrose site has also hosted pop-ups for the likes of Fear of God and Off-White, part of a long habit of backing designers early in their careers.

The edit runs from avant-garde and directional labels such as The Soloist, S.S.Daley, Gosha and Local Authority through Californian mainstays like The Elder Statesman and Husbands, with Nick Fouquet hats, Avant Toi knitwear and Alanui alongside vintage pieces and one-off objects. It's a shop for those who want something genuinely different rather than the obvious.
