Guillermo Andrade

Guillermo Andrade is a Guatemalan-born, Los Angeles-based designer and the founder of 424, the luxury streetwear label he operates out of a store on Melrose Place in West Hollywood. Andrade came up in the LA fashion scene without formal design training, beginning his career by sourcing and reworking vintage pieces — buying Paul Smith suits and reconstructing them into one-of-a-kind garments — before opening a multi-brand concept store on Fairfax Avenue that became a destination for the city's underground fashion community. 424 grew out of that store, evolving from a retail platform into a full label defined by Andrade's politically engaged design sensibility and his commitment to making clothes that are accessible while remaining conceptually creative. His collaborations have spanned Nike, Adidas, and Arsenal FC — the latter a collection of matchday suits that brought him international attention.
