Eckhaus Latta

Eckhaus Latta is an American designer label for women and men, founded in 2011 by Mike Eckhaus and Zoe Latta and based between Los Angeles and New York. The pair met as students at the Rhode Island School of Design, where Eckhaus studied sculpture and Latta studied textiles. The label is known for experimental, art-driven collections that blur fashion and fine art, and it describes itself as having become the downtown uniform of creatives. Eckhaus Latta makes ready-to-wear and accessories. Current pieces include Wide Leg, Baggy and Unzipped jeans, Base tanks and longsleeves with a hand-embroidered EL logo, and the Snatched Hoodie, along with its signature bags such as The Snap, The Crescent and The Bucket. The brand does not publish a full breakdown of where its clothing is made, though some pieces, such as its wide leg jeans, are made in Los Angeles. Some of its denim uses American deadstock fabric. In 2018 the Whitney Museum of American Art staged Eckhaus Latta: Possessed, an exhibition of the label's work. Eckhaus Latta is an independent label led by its co-founders and co-designers, with its own stores in Los Angeles and New York.
