DESIGNING FOR THE PULSE OF POP CULTURE

ASHTON MICHAEL
A NAME YOU MAY WANT TO MAKE YOURSELF FAMILIAR WITH.

 For over a decade now East LA born Ashton Hirota has been one of the fastest growing designers/stylists there is.  His designs are fresh, bold, in your face, exciting, and demands attention.  For those of you who are unaware, let me do a bit of informing.   

   Shortly after attending FIDM, Ashton launched his first line Glaza.  Having an edgy-forward aesthetic, the line took off.  Quickly people began to take notice of this new talent.   

  He may never grow tired of  wearing his Dali-like mustache, to bad i can't say the same for Glaza.  In 2004 he ended that chapter of his career, only to start a new one.  Thus Ashton Michael was born.  Having nothing but rapid momentum. Hirota's work began showing up on television shows like American Idol, Ellen, Americas Next Top Model, and Access Hollywood.  Though quite impressive, one can not forget about The Black Eye Peas, John Legend, No Doubt, Chris Brown, Nikki Minaj, Adam Lambert, and the fabulous Jonte,  wearing and performing in his creations at any given time.  

Making it easier to have access to his designs, Hirota became part of  The House of Infinite Radness, a showroom based in LA.  Open by appointment only, designers and artists MarcoMarco, Emilie Odeile, Jenifer Sindon, and Ashton Michael himself,  showcase and sell  extremely special pieces that any fashionista would crave to have in their closets.

Be sure to check out the Ashton Michael website.  Prepare yourself to be WOWED...
