While the tabloid press is buzzing about the best job ever — Katy Perry’s personal boob wrangler — we’re wondering who designed that futuristic hot pink dress. There’s something about the cut and space-age design that is so familiar. Recent images of Lady Gaga, MIA, and Ciara come to mind. As do The Teaches of Peaches. So what LA designer separates Katy Perry from her boob adjuster?

If you guessed Brian Lichtenberg, the man who put metallic triangles on the fashion map again, you are a fashion trivia winner. Lichtenberg’s designs are a must-have for a kickass stage presence and a heavily rotated video. He is in high demand for his custom designs as well as his infamous BRIANEL tank, most recently spotted on Ashton Kutcher and Rihanna. He just finished a collaboration with another local rock ‘n roll line, Kill City, that drops this October. We got a peak at the jeans, and they are smokin’. And that’s not all; this busy designer just finished his Spring 2010 line that he plans to premiere at LA Fashion Week next month. BL is saturated and available across LA, but our favorite places to shop for his pieces are the New High (M)Art and Joyrich.
