History
Founded by Guillermo Andrade in 2010, 424 began as a retail space on Fairfax Avenue before evolving into a full clothing line. The brand gained international recognition for its provocative designs, specifically the red police armband. It played a significant role in bridging the gap between West Coast street culture and luxury fashion. In 2019, the label established a formal partnership with Arsenal FC, designing the team's official formal wear and travel attire.
