Wittmore Goes West

If you’re a West Coast fan of Wittmore, the fashion retailer best known for its curated assortment of hard-to-find, lifestyle brands, you’re in luck. Wittmore has officially opened a permanent retail brick-and-mortar space on West 3rd Street in Los Angeles. We say permanent, because the company operated a pop-up from June to August just west of its current location, near iconic neighborhood amenities such as Toast Restaurant and Gogosha Optique. This space, however, features an oversized, abstract Wittmore graphic along one wall, custom-fitted warehouse lights and a cement gray floor for a cool, modernist sensibility—all the better to showcase the goods, as founder Paul Witt would have it, whose assortment for fall includes great items by Ian Velardi, Gant Rugger, Sandqvist Bags, Isaora, Mollusk Surf, Cardigan, Il Bussetto, General Knot & Co., Armor Lux, Oliver Spencer and many others.

Says Witt: “The majority of my customers are still discovering their own style and like to learn about something new when they shop the site or visit with me in the new store. I’ve seen a lot repeat customers, which proves the merchandise mix is relatable and fun.” 8236 W 3rd Street, Los Angeles, CA 90048. (323) 782-9791.

John Elliott mixes tailoring and performance in fall 2024
Designer took inspiration from Italian sports cars
John Elliott coat

John Elliott is one of the fastest-rising stars in the fashion industry. While his namesake label launched in 2012 and is barely old enough to ride the rides at theme parks, it continues to take home award after award year after year. Starting in California with a love of skating culture, basketball, and clothing, Elliott found his way into the industry with the knowledge he learned from an Italian immigrant grandmother and seamstress. His first collection in 2015 F/W NY Fashion Week garnered him GQ's Designer of the Year and he has shown eight times since. After numerous awards, the brand looks to continue its success with its John Elliott fall and winter 2024 collection, taking inspiration from a place close to his roots.
Pieces inspired by legendary sports cars

The collection takes its shape from a trip to Italy, where they found themselves with an unexpected day off in Modena. While the area is known for the factories and museums of iconic Italian car brands Ferrari and Maserati, Elliott discovered his eye drawn to the blending point of tailoring and activewear worn by the engineers during a visit to one of the factories. He then took note of the interiors of the 60s and 70s era legends, the suede and leather fabrics fused with intricate stitching. The collection was born out of this inspiration and offers a custom-developed melton wool from Japan used in outerwear, a heavy moleskin found in the trucker jackets and high-rise straight-leg denim, a brushed knit with an attractive uneven skip-stitch for a luxurious texture that's unmistakably reminiscent of vintage car interiors, and a beautifully patinated leather.

Last year, the incredibly popular race syndicate Formula 1 debuted in Las Vegas. Seemingly reworking the entirety of the Vegas Strip, it created and ran an exhilarating race that saw Max Verstappen take the win and finish just under 90 minutes, with Charles Leclerc and Sergio Perez coming in behind him only seconds away. While the race was the draw, countless brands showed up to provide race fans with various souvenirs. PacSun is returning this season, but the PacSun F1 Las Vegas Collection isn't only great clothing; a limited edition garment accompanies it.
