Meet Michael Kuluva | Fashion Designer

We had the good fortune of connecting with Michael Kuluva and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Michael, let’s start by talking about what inspires you?
For my latest Limited Edition KULUVA 2025 Collection, I was inspired by the 1990’s grunge movement. I wanted to show the grunge movement with slits in my clothing in specific areas to highlight that part of the body. I really love movement and when I was creating, I found that this collection has a lot of free movement throughout.

I love working with the new Los Angeles model Jaden McAulay, who has such a great look for this 2025 campaign.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
The Michael KULUVA 2025 Collection has been a series of movements within the past year in which cultivated to a collection of slashes to the 1990’s grunge movement. I love the look of the grunge styles especially when I was in Iceland and Europe this past summer.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
Some of my favorite spots in the Los Angeles is Chateau Marmont, which never disappoints plus you usually can see the KULUVA brand being worn around the chic LA hotel.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
Thank you to Natalie Corrales for the help of the curation of the 2025 Campaign. Thank you to Jaden McAulay and thank you to my publicist Kelly K! Plus a huge thank you to my team and my agents at CAA.
