In an age of abundance and, at times, over-consumption, the value of a garment, or item, or accessory that fits just right cannot be overstated. To wear something made for you—and you alone—is to reclaim a sense of intimacy in a world of mass production. Like Cinderella and her glass slippers, an item custom-fit for the wearer bears a special uniqueness, bestowing a tailor-made signature on each step, leap, or stumble, available to the wearer alone. Angelenos and visitors can now experience this bespoke craftsmanship at HIGH SOCIETY’s new flagship store on Beverly Boulevard.
The independent, Los Angeles-based fashion house, founded by Richard Lim, has carved out a new corner of the city for itself in a two-story building on Beverly Boulevard. The space itself mirrors Lim’s philosophy: refined yet unexpected, timeless yet distinctly of the moment. The legendary tailor has dressed a collection of legendary figures, including Prince, Brad Pitt, Tom Cruise, LeBron James, Kobe Bryant, Clairo, and Ray Charles, to name a few.
At HIGH SOCIETY, no amount of customization, creativity, and quality is too much. The new location isn’t just a clothing store or a tailor—it’s a one-stop shop for custom fittings, handwrought art, eccentric fragrances, and conversation-starter coffee table books. Customers can select pieces from the ready-to-wear line and subject them to a full tailoring experience. The pieces are altered on-site. From the fabric to the fit to the color, every detail is welcome to modification, creating a beautiful synergy between the designer, the tailor, and the wearer. Each piece becomes a collaboration—a wearable dialogue between imagination and craftsmanship.
As a cherry on top, the new HIGH SOCIETY location features curated artisanal goods from a variety of international brands, including Third Reasons jewelry, Teenage Engineering audio objects, Adieu shoes, George Cox shoes, DS & Durga fragrance, Binu Binu soaps and incense, and more. The result is both a retail space and a modern atelier—a temple of texture, scent, and sound—where every object tells a story of meticulous design and uncompromising individuality.
