Downtown LA’s Historic Core is a story of contrasts. Next to yesteryear’s aging nickelodeons it’s no surprise to find a bustling boutique hotel, or to uncover a vegan-vending pizza stand among stalls of parked vehicles. It’s as if layers of the city’s history converge at its heart, creating a harmonious discord that excites, delights, and surprises just like its quivering quakes. Every nook and cranny must be explored to fully apprehend the mysteries and marvels that lie along the fault lines of this city’s teeming streets.

Los Angeles' first installment of the Stockholm based fashion house, Acne, is quartered in the southeast corner of the Eastern Columbia Building. Known for a multi-disciplinary approach to fashion design, the retailer purveys a collection of goods that are both offbeat and sleek, and worth casual perusal. Note how the use of moody masculine materials - like marble and steel - read light and feminine against racks of intricate garments. Just a small testament to the brand's unique and uncompromising approach to dressing and design.
