Word On THE BLOCK

Made in L.A. | Mr. Completely

Mr. Completely, a Los Angles based contemporary menswear line from the minds of Keith Richardson (formerly of Corpus) and Lukus Eichmann (founder of Tortoise Jeans and Saddlelites) collectively possesses over 13 years of brand design, brand development and creative direction. The combination of these talented individuals yields a modern collection with a streetwear vibe that keeps pace with men’s urban closets further enhanced by custom pieces created for musicians such as Kanye West and Rihanna.

Trend Watch | Cropped For Summer

Ulla Johnson may be known for her bohemian printed dresses, but we love her military-inspired classic fatigue skirt this season. The high-waist is really flattering and easy to wear, and definitely a great alternative to pants on those boiling days…and it has pockets!

Explore the Brand | Death to Tennis

Death to Tennis is a true New York label, founded in by two Englishmen who met while working in the tireless machine of the city’s fashion industry. Fully, designed, cut, and produced in the Big Apple, William Watson and his partner Vincent Oshin take sober styles and detailing inspired from classic designs and toy with fabrication and silhouettes.

Behind the Brand | Understated Cool with FWK

Engineered Garments’ designer Daiki Suzuki draws inspiration each season from American sportswear, outdoor clothing, and military uniforms. Taking a distinctly Japanese approach to design and details, this cult brand blurs the lines between modern design and heritage craftsmanship.

Trend Watch | Fit and Flared

Yes, we still love culottes, and this denim pair from Aussie label Neuw is perfect! This label has a serious cult following for their flattering fits, and these jeans are a cool hybrid of 70’s flare with a nod to the classic sailor pant. Style them with a new luxurious take on tie-dye, with this silk knit MM6 crop top. For the last stretch of comfy, these F-Troupe sandals are a great update on the classic Birkenstock slide.

True Grit - Clothing with Soul

Rolla’s is the brainchild of designer couple Andy Paltos and Sarah Gilsenan, who after a decade of work for some of the most iconic denim brands finally launched their passion project. The brand embodies the grit and soul of their home Australia, presented in raw, simple style.

Objects Without Meaning & AMO

Objects Without Meaning was created in LA by Alexandra Michelle with a focus on developing clothing that emphasizes the wearer rather than the object. The focus of each collection is on the simplicity of its materials and the forms they take, and we absolutely see these qualities with this beautiful twisted knot take on the classic white tee.
