This One’s for the Grrls: Why MISFITS LA Exists

This is for the ones who were born of contradiction.

You’ve probably heard it all before.
Too loud. Too soft. Too ambitious. Too tender.
Too silly. Too smart.

You’ve been told to pick a lane.

You’ve been told you’re too much, or not enough.

You’ve spent your life trying to find your place in rooms that were never built with you in mind.

And yet — here you are. Still showing up. Still searching. Still creating.

That’s why we built MISFITS LA.

Not as a brand. Not as an aesthetic. But as a home. For the women who have always colored outside the lines. For the ones who never quite fit cleanly into any box — so they built their own.

Because if you’ve ever felt like a contradiction, you’re not confused.
If you’ve ever been told you’re “too much,” you’re not.
If you’ve ever felt like you’re falling behind — you’re right on time.

You’re just a misfit. And here, that’s a compliment.


Who We Are

MISFITS LA is more than a digital zine (with a print edition on its way soon!). It’s a living archive of overlooked brilliance — a space where we spotlight the stories, art, music, fashion, and voices of women reclaiming their narratives on their own terms.

We’re based in Los Angeles, but we speak to anyone who’s ever felt like an outsider. Our community is powered by vulnerability, sharp wit, vibrant colors, soft hearts, and the kind of rebellion that starts with radical self-expression.

We love it messy. We love it bold. And we love it when people like you find us and think, “Finally. Something that gets me.”


What to Expect

  • Digital zine updated weekly + a limited print edition dropping this summer
  • Spotlights on local and global artists, DJs, designers, and creatives we love
  • Event coverage + street-style features from the underground and in-between
  • A growing community of women who get it
  • IRL events designed to stimulate your creativity and give you opportunities to connect with like-minded women

This isn’t about clout. It’s about connection. You don’t have to fit a mold to belong here. In fact, that’s kind of the point.


Want In?

There’s no velvet rope.
Just follow along, join the conversation, and don’t be afraid to show up as your full self.

You’re not too much.
You’re just a misfit.

Welcome to the jungle.
