 has been rising on Beverly Boulevard, directly across from West Elm—a fitting contrast of old-world craftsmanship against contemporary retail design. Now, as 2025 approaches, the building nears completion, standing as a testament to materiality, space, and process.

 is striking. Its façade is adorned with handmade tiles by artist Michael Dopp, each one a small but deliberate gesture toward texture and tactility. Acute angles shape the structure, lending it a sense of quiet dynamism, while natural materials—light oak wood and raw concrete—anchor it in warmth. Shiny steel beams catch and reflect the LA sun, framing the building’s expansive openness.

Inside, the space breathes. The first floor is dedicated to the making and exhibition of High Society’s garments, a seamless interplay between craftsmanship and presentation. The wide, open layout is softened with layers of silk and organza, which act as temporary dividers, shifting the environment to accommodate different moods and needs. A separate room for tailors ensures the precision of their work remains uninterrupted. The front of the house is an immersive retail experience, while the back hums with the meticulous artistry of tailoring.

, an exploration of raw material and the philosophies behind clothing before it even takes form. It’s a quieter space, a place of research and reflection. A dedicated meeting area opens up to a panoramic view of the Hollywood Hills, enclosed by glass doors and bathed in natural light from a skylight above. It’s a moment of pause, a reminder of place and perspective.

 is more than just a building—it’s a statement on process, material, and the intimate relationship between fashion and space. As it nears completion, it promises not just a new home for High Society, but a new way to experience the art of clothing.

Our four-year journey to bring “The Cake” to life has been as deliberate as any bespoke suit we craft. From the moment we broke ground on Beverly Boulevard in early 2021, every stage of the build became an exercise in patience and precision. Foundations were poured, structural steel rose skyward, and day by day the two-tiered silhouette took shape. As we watched each beam go up and each tile find its place, we treated the construction site itself as an unfolding atelier, where process and progress were celebrated in equal measure.

The raw wooden supports and gleaming metal framework that now greet guests speak to our commitment to transparency. Exposed concrete walls stand alongside oak planks that will one day warm the retail gallery below, while the skeleton of the upper level frames what will become our experimental Silk Project studio. Even before the exterior was complete, the interplay of textures and materials offered a powerful visual vocabulary, hinting at the handmade tiles and geometric reliefs that will soon clothe the outside.

Midway through construction, we took the time to produce an editorial photoshoot among the raw beams and scaffolding. Models draped in our latest bespoke pieces moved through vaults of light and shadow, their tailored silhouettes echoing the crisp angles of the steel columns. Against a backdrop of unfinished walls and metal braces, every stitch and fold took on new meaning, reinforcing our belief that craft is revealed most vividly in the moment before perfection is declared.

Looking at “The Cake” in its unfinished glory has reminded us that the story of a garment begins long before the final fitting. At High Society we are as passionate about the workshop and the worksite as we are about the showpiece, and this building has become an embodiment of our ideology. When we open the doors in 2025, clients will step into a living atelier where design, construction, and collaboration converge. In that convergence we see the future of bespoke tailoring, one where innovation is built in from the ground up.
