There are certain designers that can channel the soul of a town. Designers that connect and capture the vibe of the city and transform that spirit into rallying collections that are oh so New York, Paris, Milan, or London.

If you ask us who channels Los Angeles, there are several names that come to mind, but the first would be James Perse. The son of Maxfield owner Tommy Perse, James’ love of sports and inherited appreciation for minimalist architecture intersect for sophisticated, clean, light-on-your-feet knits in fabrics that breathe easy under the Southern California sun.
