Los Angeles denim and ready-to-wear label founded in 2008 by Jeff Rudes, previously a co-founder of J Brand, blending Californian ease with Parisian tailoring; grew from a denim line into full womenswear.
Best for LA-Parisian blazers, silk blouses, and jeans
L'AGENCE was founded in Los Angeles in 2008 by Jeff Rudes, who had already built the cult denim label J Brand in 2005 after decades in the denim business. With L'AGENCE, Rudes set out to marry the relaxed ease associated with California style with a more polished, Parisian sensibility. The brand's early identity was rooted in Hollywood, quickly picking up a following among celebrities and stylists, largely on the strength of its denim. It has since expanded well beyond jeans into a full ready-to-wear collection and become a regular presence at New York Fashion Week.

Colin Tunstall, Morgan Collett and Josh Rosen opened Saturdays as a SoHo surf shop in August 2009, selling boards and wetsuits alongside books and art before growing into a menswear label with additional shops in New York and Japan.
Best for Surf, Minimalist
Saturdays NYC opened in August 2009 on a small cobblestone street in SoHo, founded by three friends - Colin Tunstall, Morgan Collett and Josh Rosen - who each had backgrounds connected to the fashion industry. The original concept combined a downtown New York City surf shop with a lifestyle retail sensibility: alongside surfboards and wetsuits, the shop sold books, fine art and other lifestyle goods, aimed at supporting a surf-adjacent life within an urban setting rather than a coastal one. Within about four years, the business had expanded from that single storefront to a second New York location plus two shops in Japan, and it evolved from a shop selling third-party surf gear into a brand designing and producing its own menswear line.
