LOS ANGELES, Feb. 3 /PRNewswire/ - Horiyoshi Worldwide, Inc. ("HHWW"), has completed showing its latest apparel designs at the Men's 2011 Paris fashion show. This internationally recognized event showcases the latest designs for the upcoming fashion season and brings together buyers and distributors from around the world.

The Company continues to gain distribution partners and is seeing existing stores place substantial re-orders of the new collection." Horiyoshi himself works directly with the design team and is deeply invested in the look and feel of the HHWW brand. The feedback from the fashion community indicates this attention to detail that gives all our products a unique perspective and appeal.
