A successful retailer of over 28 years, M. Fredric is touted as a Los Angeles retail maven and must-stop-shop for all of Hollywood. Owned and operated by Fred Levine, Lisa Levine and Mardi Fox (husband, wife and sister), the 25 boutiques avoid the cookie-cutter sameness of most apparel chains by boosting a wide range of stylish, trendy apparel and accessories for women, men and children. Frequented by celebrities, wardrobe stylists and sophisticated shoppers, M. Fredric is constantly evolving to offer clients a fun and dynamic environment to make shopping an exciting experience.

Always on the pulse of what’s hot, M. Fredric carries such apparel lines as 1921, William Rast, Hale Bob, Twisted Heart, Lauren Moshi, Bailey 44, Level 99, Taverniti, 2BFree, Zooey, Howe, Arnold Zimberg, English Laundry, Monarchy, Mark Nason, Flowers by Zoe and many more.

Upon opening in 1980, M.Fredric has been an active member of the community and highly involved in philanthropic endeavors. M. Fredric sought to utilize their public outreach by vowing to raise funds and support several charities that have personal significance to themselves and their clients. Subsequently, M Fredric has partnered with the American Cancer Society (ACS) in the fight against Breast Cancer and has embarked on a company wide program where vendors, employees and customers are encouraged to make donations. The donations help raise awareness for the early detection and research of Breast Cancer disease. The company raises thousands of dollars each month for this important cause, a portion of which is matched by M. Fredric and later presented to American Cancer Society. To date we have collected over $340,000 for ACS.

Just recently, we’ve adopted Camp Ronald McDonald for Good Times, a charity for children with Cancer. The camp offers a cost-free, medically supervised experience where children with cancer and their families can shed the stress and routine of daily life.

“We as a management team embarked on a charitable crusade because we believe it’s the responsibility of every successful business to push further to make a difference in the communities in which they thrive,” says Fred Levine.

The vision of M. Fredric is to excel in every endeavor it undertakes and leave a mark as a thriving retailer with a heart. Stores are located in Brentwood, Calabasas, Encino, The Grove, El Segundo, Marina del Rey, Studio City, Westlake Village, Thousand Oaks and coming soon....Malibu!
