Mishka Los Angeles Store Opening | Hypebeast

R-Word: You talking about what happened in front of Fais Do Do off Adams just west of La Brea when Databass used to go off there years ago? I was there that night. So fucking unnecessary and tragic.

Mishka LA I can dig it..
Whenever I think of Echo Park I think of that flick
“Mi Vida Loca”…
I need that Logo tee in my life.

I know that spot, it used to be Han Cholo not long ago. It’s probably pretty cheap overhead, although Echo Park is becoming trendy and gentrified,that location is still a little off the beaten path. Heads who live on the west side or even Hollywood would have a decent trek to go to that TINY store. But don’t hate, that little strip on Echo Park Ave needs some fire to jump start would previously was a cool block.

DEESTER i live in Echo Park, born and raised in fact. I knew the guy who had their space before. It was an art gallery. So the coffee shop in up the avenue called FIX is gentrifying the neighborhood, or the local bakery. Last i checked every store on that block was part of the community.

You miss the old EP that was run by Frog Town and EXP and Rampart division of LAPD. You’re an idiot.

Mishka better watch out.

La eme and MS X 13 are gona be shanking niggaz up there cuz.
yall niggaz remember to stay out of LA CUZ

I was at their sample sale at the Echo Park location last year. Its a small spot, but definitely has potential. When i was there, they told me that they might open their LA store there. Its cool they actually did it.

Mishka’s doin big thangs…much props and repsect.

” the hood better regulate on this bullshit”…uh huh…like when some kid from NY got shot in the face at a drum & bass party by some dumb ass cholos pissed off at ‘ravers’ in their hood. yeah, that’s awesome.

YUCK FA. SICK!!!!!!!

haha the moneyed class

“a clear mission to be a part of the growing transformation of the Echo Park neighborhood”

I read this as them being excited to work within the community in the way Mishka has been doing in Brooklyn for years now, if you’ve been to the store in ny you know they’re not representing the “moneyed class” at all. I’m sure there’s some heated politics going down in Echo Park right now, just like there is in Williamsburgh/Brooklyn. Gentrification is a bit of a tough one to deal with no matter what your stance on it is, but I don’t think Mishka moving in there is a catalyst for anything that hasn’t already happened and if anyone’s designs honor their surroundings, it’s Mishka’s.

verrry interesting..it’s cool to see the independent brands opening spots !..i dont know too much about echo park as a fashion destination though

To write that Mishka’s new store is on “a clear mission to be a part of the growing transformation of the Echo Park neighborhood” is an extremely sugar-coated way to overlook the reality that it’s part of the area’s continuing gentrification and displacement of local businesses.

Am I a hater on Mishka? Absolutely no way. But I’m also aware of the process and effects of displacement. And I’m sure the remaining, but dwindling (not to mention unheard and disregarded) working class that lived in Echo Park for years before it became invaded by the moneyed class might have some interesting opinions. And their opinions will last long after they’ve been priced out of a part of town they’ve called home for generations.

The post above should read growing gentrification rather than transformation. I hope mishka honors the neighborhood and respects the rich history that this part of LA has always had.

is their still a market for these brands?

cannot wait.

This is bob the builder again saying i am building the Mishka store.

love mishka’s creativity….good luck with the new spot

“the growing transformation of the Echo Park neighborhood.”

fuck mishka and all the hipsters that are gentrifying the shit out of my neighborhood!!
i miss the OLD ECHO PARK… the hood better regulate on this bullshit

Wow, this is inspiration to keep going—Man 344 days later, is that a record? Great job guys keep it real and stay independent!

DOPE! great brand, great neighborhood and lots of hipsters!
