There’s just something about the street style aesthetic that seems to lure us all in. It’s effortless, it’s fun, and it doesn’t take itself too seriously. But with so many high-end designers gaining inspo from the streets, the line between high fashion and street-wear is blurred.

Los Angeles-based clothing company Photo/Genics + Co embodies this blending of the high and the “low” flawlessly. “This grounding breaking new clothing line mixes uber hip vibes with clean couture runways lines,” they note. The collection is exclusively designed by Photo/Genics models, and Bordeaux Models founder Nicole Bordeaux.

The bread and butter of this clothing company is the collaborative spirit, bringing in passionate creative to produce cool lifestyle products. Oversized vintage denim jackets, and unisex tees feature original artwork by Ganna Bogdan and photographer Lena Shkoda. An oversized button down shirt features “tattoo design” by DJ and model Chloe Norgaard. The lifestyle pieces include a terrarium, and stationary to name a few. Minimalist jewelry pieces in gold, rose gold, and gun metal plated sterling silver are designed by Rachel Katz. Excuse our name dropping, but you can see the spirit of entrepreneurial promotion is what keeps this burgeoning brand thriving.

We caught up with the Creative Director of Photo/Genics + Co Melanie De Jesus, to discuss the collaboration process, who they want to work with, and what we can expect to see in the future.
