About 424

From boutique to brand. 424 began as a store at 424 Fairfax Avenue, the iconic streetwear block in Los Angeles. What started as a curated boutique for fashion, art and culture grew under designer Guillermo Andrade into a fully fledged, designer-led streetwear brand.

LA culture with a message. Andrade, a Guatemalan-American designer who grew up in LA, weaves cultural identity, political themes and the energy of his city into his designs. The distinctive red armband motif became one of the brand’s bold signature marks.

Premium streetwear. With premium denim, expressive graphics and runway collections, 424 rose above everyday streetwear. That blend of message and quality carries through to its footwear, making the brand a distinctive name on the scene.
