JAMES PERSE

James Perse was born in Los Angeles, California in 1972. James’ childhood was split between the beach, the hockey rink, and the floor of his father’s innovative Los Angeles boutique, Maxfield.

In 1996, James founded his first namesake collection of women’s knits, which soon developed into two distinctly wearable collections: Standard James Perse for high quality basics, and James Perse Los Angeles ready-to-wear items, including jackets, sweaters, pants, and dresses. 

His passion for minimalist architecture influenced by warm west coast indoor/outdoor living, and the casual clothing that is inspired by it, ultimately resulted in James’ personal design philosophy and aesthetic: low maintenance high fashion, emphasizing elegance and comfort, pairing sophistication with simplicity. James has applied this visionary approach in every step of defining and developing the brand.

The James Perse collection is available in-store only.
