LOS ANGELES,CA(RushPRnews/Hollywood Today)10/23/08 - “I make my own trends,” fashion designer Michael Hong told Hollywood Today exclusively. Key Closet, one of LA’s hottest jean designers for celebs is more than just a trend setter only the rich can afford, they are a socially conscience company dedicated to helping children in Uganda. Hong’s style and imagination are what set him apart from other jeans designers. “We don’t want to be a part of the masses,” he said.

Blue Tattoo Jeans, maker of stylish California clothing fit for Hollywood’s elite or a Harley Davidson is hosting Key Closet’s $10,000 diamond studded jeans in downtown Los Angeles.

Not every body in LA’s exclusive design world is against the masses. Blue tattoo owner and designer Jim Shaffer has a life long affection for tattoos and Harleys, something Hollywood has grown to love and respect in recent years. The trend and style Shaffer creates is unique, coating his fabric jeans with a secret material he wouldn’t divulge to Hollywood Today. “Doctors and lawyers are good for the biker industry,” said Shaffer. His jean fabrics look like leather pants but are comfortable cotton. “You really can’t tell the difference but the fabric is soft and comfortable to wear stretched out on a Harley while cruising the Sunset strip,” he said.

One of the great highlights to fashion week are the fashion shows and plenty of tall, longed legged models to walk down the runways. With lights and popping flash bulbs, Voom put on a show displaying their line of next spring’s fashions. Asian fusion and silky cottons seem to be next summer’s trend. “Bright colors and very high mini-skirts tight around the waist and cut short just below you know what and just short of being able to see any thing is what’s hot,” said Voom model Tiara Edwards.

The mix of styles and creative ideas these design artists displayed at fashion week are where the major department stores steal from when A-List actors are seen wear their clothes in the tabloids. Even though these fashion creators are unique and set the trends, it’s the corporations who take their ideas and mass produce them for middle America (sorry Michael). So when you’re walking down the isle in some trillion dollar company that ends with “Mart” and you see racks of fake diamond studded jeans or the coolest leather style jeans you’ll know that it all begins with LA’s trendiest designers.
