Eckhaus Latta

Eckhaus Latta suits the shopper who wants clothes that sit closer to art than to trend. Mike Eckhaus, who studied sculpture, and Zoe Latta, who studied textiles and once designed knits for Opening Ceremony, met at the Rhode Island School of Design and founded the label in 2011. Knitwear is the reason to go: textured, oddly proportioned pieces that look handmade because the thinking behind them is. The art world takes it seriously too. Its 2018 show Possessed at the Whitney was the museum's first fashion-related exhibition in 21 years. Try things on at the label's own stores in Los Angeles and New York, since the cuts are unconventional and can surprise you on the body.
