DSTLD $2M+ SeedInvest Series A-2 Round: Hugging Curves in All the Right Places

DSTLD, a company seeking to disrupt the $200 billion fast fashion market with fairly priced, direct-to-consumer premium clothing (such as jeans), has exceeded $2M on its SeedInvest Series A-2 round. Nearly 2000 investors have invested over $2,132,766.

Helmed by Co-CEO, Co-Founder and Creative Director Corey Epstein and Co-CEO and Co-Founder Mark Lynn, the fashion disruptor DSTLD is backed by Plus Capital, Creative Artists Agency (CAA), Wavemaker Partners, Baroda Ventures, Amplify.LA and CrunchFund.

“Our LA-based brand launched in 2014 under the premises that ethically produced, well-crafted clothing shouldn’t cost so much, and that Fast Fashion is an excessive and unsustainable industry,” according to the campaign. “Inspired by the creatives that constitute Los Angeles, filmmakers, writers, entrepreneurs, artists, and designers, Corey Epstein and Mark Lynn set out to build a contemporary brand based on the modern uniform they saw around them: Jeans, t-shirts, and other luxury-level basics no person can live without.”
