Ashton Michael Designer Ashton Hirota showed 24 of his line’s Spring looks in a show called Black Cross on Oct. 15. With a flourish of guerilla theater, Hirota closed down the street in front of his studio at 1649 Las Palmas in Hollywood. The runway was the middle of the street. Along with fashion press, stylists and retailers the audience was whomever was passing by.

For his new collection, Hirota was inspired by the separate, enclosed worlds and the uniforms worn by the cholos, sometimes labeled as Chicano gangbangers and Hasids, a mystical and puritanical Jewish group. With inspiration from their disparate styles, Hirota added his urban goth taste for a unique line.

The Examiner:

There's only one designer that can shut down a Hollywood block and that's Ashton Micheal. Ashton Hirota is a Los Angeles native who came onto the fashion scene at just 19 years old. He now designs one of a kind celebrity pieces from his Ashton Michael collection for stars such as Will.i.am, Usher, Chris Brown, and Nicki Minaj. He also has a super edgy but very wearable RTW line, oh and did I mention he offers wardrobe styling? He's a very busy man all while remaining extremely approachable and down to earth.
