Founded in 2016 in Los Angeles by Dov Charney—the controversial former founder of American Apparel—Los Angeles Apparel was built to replicate his previous brand's vertically integrated, domestic manufacturing model. Operating out of South Central Los Angeles, the brand controls its entire production process, from knitting and dyeing to sewing and distribution. Charney’s commitment to sweatshop-free labor and fair wages remains a central pillar, with the brand frequently highlighting the faces and names of its garment workers on its clothing tags.
