As the designer responsible for the legendary Mike & Chris leather jacket, Mike Gonzalez has become a darling of the fashion world. Through his MIKEGONZALEZ collection, the inimitable designer blends a grungy, East Los Angeles street aesthetic with a variety of other diverse influences — from indigenous Peruvian motifs to luxe resort wear to outfits worn by his wife and muse Christine Park-Gonzalez. Rodriguez's designs emphasize elegant streetwear styles and post-punk edge: cuffed denim shorts, sheer tops, punchy prints on leggings and the perennially cool leather jacket feature prominently.
