Eckhaus Latta is a bi-coastal American fashion brand. Founded by Zoe Latta and Mike Eckhaus in 2011, Eckhaus Latta is a young label recognized across the spectrums of the fashion, entertainment, and arts industries.[1] The brand is known for their use of unexpected materials, exploring texture and tactility in their designs, and for incorporating writing, performance, and video into their practice.[2] In 2018, Eckhaus Latta opened a show, Possessed, at the Whitney Museum, the first fashion-related exhibition at the museum in 21 years.[3] The label previously exhibited their work, a sculptural collage of fashion, fine art, and video, in group shows at the Hammer Museum, (2016) and MoMA PS1, (2015).[4][5] Additionally, Eckhaus Latta was nominated for the 2018 Edition of the LVMH Prize.[6] They often collaborate with other artists.

History

Mike Eckhaus and Zoe Latta met as students at the Rhode Island School of Design, where Mike studied sculpture and Zoe textiles. In 2010, Eckhaus moved to NYC and began working as an accessories designer at Marc by Marc Jacobs while Latta ran a textiles business, Ruth Prince, selling prints to designers such as Calvin Klein and Proenza Schouler while designing knits for Opening Ceremony.[7] Looking to move beyond the somewhat restricted commercial environments in which they worked, Eckhaus and Latta decided to design a collection together.

Collaborators

Eckhaus Latta periodically collaborates with those they find inspiring, from putting artists' sculptures into their store, to commissioning the furniture in their Los Angeles retail store, to working with Camper on a line of footwear.[8] Eckhaus Latta amplifies their peers and engages in a spectrum of collaborations.[9]

Unconventional models
