Grey Ant

Launched in L.A. in 1998, Grant Krajecki's Grey Ant started as a never-ending party of campy eighties fashion. The actual shows were just as theatrical; runways were crafted under freeways, and a Cher impersonator made a cameo. The line has been a favorite on the West Coast-its flash more suited to the sun-loving young things on Rodeo Drive than anywhere else. But with Krajecki's decision to show in New York in spring 2007, the designer could be laying the groundwork for a strong East Coast following.
