How you doing? Young Hollywood. You want to hear like this? You gotta be me. Welcome to Young Hollywood. Well, I'm here with Eric Kim, the designer of Monarchy Collection.

Monarchy Fashion Show

The collection is inspired by, um, a lot of things. I think, uh, it's it's definitely not your basics, it's not your commercial look. I think Paris and Milan have great shows, and I don't think anyone in LA really introduces a line like that. That's the the C-word, couture.

Young Hollywood

Well, we like the new style and it's like much more of a, uh, fashion with rock and roll look and, uh, with, uh, the Gothic kind of taste to it, right? So it's what's, I mean, it's always appealed to us because, uh, I don't know, you you think of the, uh, Gothic Gothic look from the eighties, you know. And you mix that with your it's 2007 and you create new ideas, new fashions, new trends. What kind of inspiration have you brought to this collection, Michael?

Monarchy Fashion Show

Well, basically, um, you know, they wanted kind of an urban kind of mixture of they wanted a lot of accessories, a lot of scarves. So basically what we did is we took a lot of leather, like, accessories from, like, film. And so I pulled a bunch of stuff from Warner Brothers, and we got a bunch of leather pieces from, uh, Waterworld.

Young Hollywood

Well, leave it to you to bring the whole costume of design into it. And I hear there's some dirt on the runway.
