Blue Art – Affordable Line for a Discriminating Buyer\n\nBy Sofia ShershunovicIf you’ve ever been to Magic or Project trade shows in Las Vegas you would understand how I felt when I had to write an article about another fashion line claiming to be unique. However, when I had a chance to speak to Blue Art designer Femi Samuel I saw that he’s not just one more designer with hackneyed “passion for fashion”.Blue Art denim is manufactured in Los Angeles and the rest of the line in Italy. With current economic state it’s been a real challenge to achieve local production for US designers, therefore I applaud any designer who managed to pull off local production for as long as they could. These days local production means many things including beneficial environmental aspects as well as better economy and more jobs for America.\n\n\nThe most fascinating thing about this line, is that Femi insists on using only the best possible fabrics for each piece. Some of the fabrics used are high-end Japanese "kaihara" and Italian "candiani" denim, as well as Italian cotton, linen, wool and beautiful calf leather.
