Spanning 90 blocks of wholesale-retail business, which totals billions of dollars in yearly revenue, the Los Angeles Fashion District is undoubtedly the West Coast hub of the US garment industry.Referred to as the "Garment District" since the 1930’s, the area was equally known for its clothing knockoffs, widespread homelessness, and dirty streets. But that all began to change with the renovating efforts of organizations like BID—the Fashion District Business Improvement District—who renamed it the "Fashion District."
Rising from the depths of this concrete jungle of literally thousands of businesses is no easy task! But fusing function with fashion, designer Dave Appel of Cohesive has surfaced as the functionally innovative standard of men’s clothing.
Designing from the age of 15, Dave has learned to pay close attention to minute details as seen in the line's intricate seam stitching and the brand’s signature item—the embossed skull button.
If you are a "9-5 professional" in need to taking off that jacket and tie after work for a funkier weekend, then Cohesive’s edgy prep-look is the right one for you!
