Shane Gonzales and Guillermo Andrade’s first official product collaboration is less about hype, more about history.
Some collaborations feel engineered. Others feel like they were always quietly waiting to happen. The new capsule from Alice Hollywood and 424 belongs firmly to the second category: a small, tightly edited release born from a friendship that helped shape a very specific corner of Los Angeles fashion culture.
At the centre of it are Shane Gonzales and Guillermo Andrade, two figures whose creative worlds first crossed over more than ten years ago on Fairfax Avenue. Back in 2014, Andrade’s 424 store became one of the early homes for Gonzales’ then-emerging label Midnight Studios, giving the brand a meaningful platform at a moment when LA streetwear was still mutating into something more layered, personal, and fashion-facing.
Now, after years of mutual support and shared history, the pair have turned that connection into their first official physical collaboration. Rather than overloading the moment, they’ve kept it stripped back: three black pieces that feel more like souvenirs from a private archive than a loud commercial drop.
The capsule includes a co-branded T-shirt, a matching hoodie, and the standout piece: a black and red double-brim cap finished with an interwoven Alice 424 logo. It’s minimal, direct, and deliberately limited — the kind of release designed less for mass circulation than for those who understand the personal mythology behind it.
The Alice Hollywood x 424 capsule drops April 24 at 424 Los Angeles, available first come, first served and in extremely limited quantities.
