Aime Leon Dore

Aimé Leon Dore, the New York label that has quietly become one of the most influential brands in contemporary fashion, just opened its first Los Angeles flagship on April 17 at 8746 Melrose Avenue in West Hollywood, marking the brand's third permanent location after New York and London. Developed with Sarita Posada Interiors, the Mediterranean-inspired space features soft stucco walls, a cobblestone courtyard anchored by an 80-year-old olive tree sourced from California's Central Valley, and the brand's signature Café Leon Dore, complete with a custom La Marzocco espresso machine. The opening also marks the global debut of ALD's women's collection, making this more than just a new outpost on the map and a signal of where the brand is headed next.
