I’m really into Indie brands, I love the rawness of the designer’s talent and the craftsmanship in his/her work. UNIF (Your Not Into Fashion) one of my favorite indie brands, designs are slick, fashion-forward fit with ideas of the city of the future. Hard edges and all. Eric Espinoza, started in the streets of Hollywood by hand dyeing, sewing and screen-printing in his backyard, creating pieces who would not bore everybody to death and produce clothes for his friends…
Five years later, Elle Magazine gave him a push after LA Fashion Week and there he found himself, selling to stores all over the world. Inspired by LA’s underground electronic music and the color splash of Californian life, he created everything from washed out denims to grunge inspired slickness.
