With such an artful approach to men's and women's wear, it's not surprising Assembly's founder began his career in the art world. Greg Armas was at the helm of galleries before opening his store on the Lower East Side in 2008. A namesake line followed in 2012 and a second forward-thinking retail environment in Los Angeles three years later. In addition to their own label, Assembly New York and Los Angeles focus on international and otherwise independent designers who maintain an emphasis on craft and design as an ethos, regardless of trend.

Founded by former galleryist Greg Armas, Assembly New York is the contemporary fashion line from the influential retailer. Focused on artful inspiration and discretion in design, their MO is to create authenticity within their clothes for thoughtful pieces that don’t rely on trends or other distractions. In other words, everything we've ever wanted.
