Each designer is an important piece in the mechanics of our grand machine. We are looking for designers who are interested in becoming a part of this project. As each designer adds their ideas and style, our machine will become more complex and will be more user friendly. We are looking for designers that are interested in all types of clothing, from Couture to experimental; accessories; furniture; and even pet supplies. Let us know if this sounds like you!
By becoming a new gear in our machine, you are offered a way to involved in a project that allows all levels of designers & producers to break into the industry. If you can design, but have no knowledge of pattern making, or garment construction, you can work with our team to bring your design to life. If you already have the knowledge to construct your design but don't have the money or time, leave it to HOP to take care of that. If you just wish that there was more than 24 hours in a day and you just have too much to do to concentrate on those ideas running through your head, no worries....we have options for you also. If you are into production and are in the Los Angeles area, contact us! We will always need helping hands that will bring all the ideas together and produce the final products.
In addition to the individual designers that are contributing to this project, we also have some established design companies in many areas working on exclusive designs only available through us and their respective design firms. We are in the process of working with PKL Glass Bondage Jewelry and ArtWith Latex Designs to bring you lots of new and fun products.
We encourage our designers & design firms to put percentages of their profits to multiple different charities. Be on the look out for specially marked products that will send proceeds to fund research & aid in many different areas such as: aids, cancer, implants for the blind so they can see again & even animal rescue! Each charity is hand picked by the designer or firm. Many or our decisions have been based on the individual designers' life experience. Michael Rendier, one of our contributors from Seattle has aids, so we are putting profits from his work towards aids research (Designers Against Aids). Maybe one day we'll find a cure. Sue, a very close friend and a very important member of our accounting crew is blind from glaucoma as a child. We'll be offering her hand made latch hook rugs randomly as she makes them and she has requested that her donations not only be towards the blind but specifically into the reasearch of the eye implants. One day she dreams of being like Geordi from Star Trek. Sissy, another lovely long time friend & designer has lung cancer. She makes lovely afghans and blankets that are custom to the reciever's needs. As a present for Sue she even made a 3-D one with multiple different textures so that she would have lots of stuff to feel. Her donations will go towards cancer research, yet another horrible plight that we will hopefully have a cure for sometime soon. Mother Tink, our founding designer lost her soul-mate kitty cat in New Orleans during Hurricane Katrina and has been searching for him ever since. The amazing people at ARNO (Animal Rescue of New Orleans) have been unbelieveably supportive throughout the search so she has decided to make ARNO her selected charity. Be a part of something positive and give back to the community while making the world beautiful!
