ASHTON MICHAEL CLOTHING

As a teenager Ashton Hirota took the L.A. fashion scene by storm with his first clothing line Glaza.  Launching this line while attending design school he got the support of leading modeling agencies, PR firms, young Hollywood socialites and celebrities alike. After graduating, Hirota continued designing one-of-a-kind timeless apparel that stood by the art of fashion.  Glaza was first featured at L.A. Fashion Week in 2002 and quickly found its place in the domestic and international market, gracing the pages of magazines including Sportswear International, MASSIV, Estylo and MR just to name a few. In addition to editorials, Glaza was available at some of the hippest boutiques in Russian, Japan, Los Angeles to New York.

Leaving Glaza behind in 2004 to his business partner, Hirota was quick to start his own line entitled Ashton Michael. The line consists of hand made cut and sew men’s and women’s apparel, accessories, and custom costume pieces. Frustrated with the way stylist would use his clothes in collaboration with other labels for editorial and music videos, Hirota decided to take the next step into completing his artistic vision and became a wardrobe stylist.  With his eye for detail, ability to construct clothes and his impeccable taste in style, Hirota has had the opportunity to work with shows such as American Idol, So You Think You Can Dance, Americas Next Top Model, and nearly every talk show including Conan O’brian, Ellen, Carson Daly, and Access Hollywood. Throughout the years he has dressed personalities such as Fergie and the Black Eyed Peas, Blake Lewis, The Sounds, Regina Spektor, Britney Spears, and Panic at the Disco.

Ashton Michael is known to create looks with uptown glamour with a downtown edge that are always staple pieces. Believing that everyone who wears AM label should feel empowered and confident, Ashton combines structured tailoring with exaggerated silhouettes. Never disregarding his clients own individual style. His clothes can be found across the market from  co-op store in Los Angeles the House of Infinite Radness, to 80spurple.com, Petro Zillia, Apartment-3, and Lolita just to name a few. With tears in publications ranging from Angeleno and Numero to Paper and Blender, Hirota continues to make people look fresh to death.
