Los Angeles Apparel opens first New York flagship in SoHo

Los Angeles Apparel, the fashion brand founded by American Apparel creator Dov Charney, has opened its first-ever stand alone New York City flagship store.

The nearly 25,000-square-foot lease at 480 Broadway in SoHo is characterized by the district’s rare blend of historic charm and modern functionality. Formerly home to Topshop’s flagship, it offers nearly 100,000 square feet of retail and boutique office space across five floors. 

Recently repositioned by KPG Funds, the property combines restored cast-iron architecture with modern infrastructure. Its location, between Broome and Grand Streets, places Los Angeles Apparel alongside major retail neighbors including Apple, Cos, Nike, and Acne Studios.

“This lease reflects everything we believe in—supporting dynamic, mission-driven brands that are contributing to the cultural and economic fabric of our cities,” said Greg Kraut, Co-Founder and CEO of KPG Funds. 

“Los Angeles Apparel’s decision to open its flagship at 480 Broadway is a strong endorsement of New York City’s retail strength, and we’re proud to play a part in their East Coast expansion. It’s also a powerful reminder that growing brands can do so while creating jobs here in the U.S.”

Founded in 2016, Los Angeles Apparel has built its reputation around ethical fashion and domestic manufacturing. It offers timeless basics with very garment designed, cut, sewn, and dyed in the company’s South Central L.A. factory, with a focus on sustainability, transparency, and fair labor practices.
