WESTLEY AUSTIN

THE LABEL

2017 - 2020 - Los Angeles

An independent Los Angeles label built around luxury materials, meticulous construction, and an unconventional approach to gender-neutral clothing.

Westley Austin became a place where ideas could be pursued on their own terms. The collections grew from a desire to make the things I couldn't find rather than the things I was expected to make.

With little interest in the traditional boundaries between menswear and womenswear, the collections borrowed freely from both sides of the closet, unconcerned with where an idea, fabric, or garment was supposed to belong.

Each collection explored the tension between unlikely cultural references, pairing familiar symbols with unexpected influences in ways that felt both unexpected and strangely inevitable.
