BEAMS, Japan’s fashion and lifestyle retailer known for its history of collaborating with renowned global brands, is taking over the pop-up space at Fred Segal Sunset with a variety of BEAMS’ most beloved products.

Running through January 2020, this marks the first time BEAMS JAPAN brings its expertly curated collection to the U.S. Key products across lifestyle, men’s and women’s will be available exclusively at Fred Segal Sunset, the iconic, Los Angeles-based experiential retailer’s flagship location, and online at FredSegal.com.

Fred Segal was among the first to introduce BEAMS products to the U.S. in 2011 and since then has been a passionate supporter of the BEAMS brand. Most recently, BEAMS selected Fred Segal Sunset to launch its first retail project in the U.S., the BEAMS COUTURE X Ziploc collection.

Fred Segal first introduced BEAMS products to the U .S. in 2011.

“BEAMS JAPAN is a project and passion that I hold very close to my heart. For over 40 years since our California-inspired beginning, BEAMS introduced the best of the world to Japan,” said Yo Shitara, president of BEAMS. “At BEAMS JAPAN we turn around to introduce to the world what we love most about the many cultures of our vibrant country. It is with great honor and excitement that we bring BEAMS JAPAN to Fred Segal, the spiritual home of Los Angeles style and culture.”

“Coming off of our first highly successful retail project together, this pop-up further establishes Fred Segal’s deepening relationship with BEAMS,” said Jeff Lotman, chairman and owner of Fred Segal. “We’re like-minded brands who share an incredible synergy so we can’t wait for what’s ahead.”
