What to know about Eckhaus Latta
Textiles are hand-manipulated, not sourced
Open-gauge and distressed knits, painted or over-dyed denim and printed jersey are built by hand, which is where most of the price sits.
Silhouettes are deliberately unresolved
Cuts are gender-neutral and left looking unfinished, with sheer layering, so garments read closer to art-school experiment than clean contemporary tailoring.
An art practice, not just clothes
Founders Mike Eckhaus and Zoe Latta, who met at RISD, cast friends and artists in shows and work in video and installation, including a 2018 Whitney exhibition.

Brand facts
Eckhaus Latta is a New York- and Los Angeles-based label founded in 2011 by Mike Eckhaus and Zoe Latta, who met at Rhode Island School of Design. Collections center on hand-manipulated textiles: open-gauge and distressed knitwear, painted or over-dyed denim, printed jersey and sheer layering, cut in gender-neutral, deliberately unresolved silhouettes. The pair cast friends and artists in their shows and extend the practice into video and installation, including the 2018 Whitney Museum exhibition "Possessed." The brand runs its own stores in Los Angeles and New York.
