c2h4

Founded in 2014 by Chinese-born, LA-based designer Yixi Chen, C2H4 derives its name from the chemical formula for ethylene, reflecting its core philosophy of mixing elements to create something new. Chen, who studied film before venturing into fashion, approaches design like a chemist, blending influences from science fiction, subcultures, and utilitarian workwear to form a distinct, forward-thinking vision. The brand is recognized for its conceptual, narrative-driven collections that explore futuristic themes, often presenting garments as uniforms for a speculative future.
