American Apparel Warehouse Soho

There is a terrific LA key hiding by the lake someplace near the Warehouse District: United states Apparel keeps an enormous army of strange and eclectic and kind of unnervingly sexy mannequins in a 1913 warehouse which was once a Ford plant and soon after a doll factory. However for quite definitely longer. Whilst the business makes to move some functions off its Alameda Square head office and into its fancy new distribution center in Los Angeles Mirada, it will keep its lease at just what it calls the Toy Factory and move that building's operations (mostly artistic merchandising) into Alameda Square. The warehouse on Seventh Street near Santa Fe had been built-in 1913 as Ford's very first California automobile plant; later it was home toward Imperial Toy business. It really is now up for lease. Curbed photographer Elizabeth Daniels takes us on a tour and introduces united states to numerous of this eerie, lifeless tenants-AmApp buys a lot of lifeless stock, underwear, and porn store mannequins, so their particular collection is actually something different.
