BABYLON LA & TRASH TALK — Rooted in Skate Culture

Lee Spielman and Garrett Stevenson from Trash Talk opened Babylon LA a couple of years ago. Part brand, part retail store, and part community center, their Hollywood location has become a cornerstone of the skate, music, and DIY community. Complete with a bowl in the back, it’s a place where you can go and buy gear, skate, and talk about creative projects under one roof. Hypebeast caught up with Spielmen for an interview in which he talks about the vision behind the project.
